Halton Region is one of the fastest-growing communities in Canada, and we are ready to deliver the services and infrastructure our community needs now and in the future.
Our annual Budget and Business Plan is our roadmap for keeping Regional tax and rate increases as low as possible while investing in what matters most to our community. The proposed 2026 Budget outlines how we will support the themes and actions of our 2023-2026 Strategic Business Plan:
- advancing infrastructure to support growth
- delivering new assisted and supportive housing
- maintaining paramedic response times
- maintaining the state-of-good-repair of capital assets
- investing in food security and the Halton Region Community Investment Fund
- continuing to implement the Digital Strategy to improve digital services
- enhancing the Basement Flooding Mitigation Program
