I’m proud to share that Moody’s Ratings has affirmed Halton Region’s Aaa credit rating for the 38th consecutive year. This long-standing achievement reflects our strong financial management and Moody’s continued confidence in Halton’s ability to maintain a stable, resilient financial position well into the future.
Aaa strong: lower long-term costs, better value for residents
A top-tier credit rating does more than signal financial strength—it delivers real value to our community. Achieving and maintaining our Aaa status:
- unlocks the lowest possible financing rates, helping public dollars go further
- minimizes long-term costs for essential infrastructure projects
- ensures we deliver maximum value for taxpayers and ratepayers
This strong credit standing is critical as Halton Region continues to build and enhance the infrastructure that supports our growing communities. From new roads to water and wastewater systems, a top credit rating allows us to invest in the foundational projects that shape healthy, complete communities while keeping long-term costs low.
Maintaining the highest ratings from Moody’s (Aaa) and S&P Global Ratings (AAA) will continue to be a key priority and has been for more than 30 years. It remains a core objective in the 2026 Budget and Business Plan, ensuring we can continue to borrow at the best possible rates and reduce the financial burden of community growth.
We’re working every day to support our community to live, grow and thrive!
