Making an informed decision: Halton’s priority issues

Halton Region and the Provincial Government have made progress on several priority issues through collaborative efforts, but significant work still needs to be done. A strong partnership with the Province is vital to maintaining Halton as a vibrant and prosperous community. As you prepare to vote, consider where candidates stand on the following priority issues:

• Delivering Infrastructure to Support Housing: With Ontario’s housing crisis persisting as a pressing concern, the need for immediate action is undeniable. Halton Region urgently requires funding and policies that enable the timely development of roads, water, and wastewater systems to support sustainable growth in new and existing communities.
• Providing Housing for Those with the Greatest Need: The need for affordable and supportive housing is not just a concern; it's a growing crisis across Halton. The Region urgently seeks increased Provincial investment to expand housing options for individuals and families facing economic hardships, seniors on fixed incomes, and those experiencing homelessness.
• Reducing Regional Contributions for Provincial Funding Shortfalls: Municipalities across Ontario, including Halton, continue to bear the financial burden of provincial funding gaps. Addressing these shortfalls is essential to maintaining vital programs and services without placing additional strain on local taxpayers.
• Expanding Affordable Child Care Spaces to Meet Demand: Access to high-quality, affordable childcare is key to supporting working families. Halton Region advocates for increased Provincial support to ensure more families have access to childcare spaces, enabling parents to participate in the workforce without financial barriers.
