Helping agri-tourism grow in Halton Recently Halton Region hosted its first Food Tourism Summit where Halton chefs, restaurateurs and farmers networked, while learning strategies to help them benefit from the rapidly growing local food movement. Halton is committed to supporting our vibrant communities, including Halton's growing agri-tourism sector. At the heart of any authentic food experience is agriculture and I'm proud that we're helping our farmers and small businesses create the best on-farm and off-farm experiences for residents and visitors.
