The long weekend is almost here and that means local Canada Day celebrations are just around the corner. I look forward to this day each year to celebrate with you in communities across Halton.

Canada Day is a chance for us to recognize, acknowledge and celebrate everyone who calls Halton home by embracing the different religions, cultures, traditions and perspectives in our community. It is a time to reflect on Canada’s history and recognize the treaty territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the generations of Indigenous Peoples who are stewards of this land. Their rich cultural heritage, contributions, and deep-rooted connection to this land reminds us of reconciliation, respect and unity.

As we enjoy the festivities and celebrate Canada Day, I encourage you to reflect on our history and diversity. Join in the celebrations by:

Our offices are closed for the holiday Monday, but you can always access our essential services on Canada Day and during long weekends throughout the summer. For more information, please visit halton.ca.

On behalf of Regional Council, I would like to wish you and your family a happy Canada Day! By celebrating our diversity, we help make Halton a great place to live, work, raise a family and retire.
