Before you cast your ballot in the Federal election, I encourage you to learn local candidates' positions on issues that are important to people in our community. In September, we asked Federal election candidates what they would do to: • invest in roads and infrastructure; • confirm Regional and Provincial regulatory roles in the proposed CN truck-rail hub; • address climate change and support community resilience; • deliver universal access to broadband internet; and • support safe, affordable and accessible government-assisted housing. As we receive candidate responses, we will post them on our Federal election webpage. To learn more, please visit halton.ca.
