Halton Hills council looks back at what they call a successful four-year term

With voting in the municipal election already underway, the Town of Halton Hills has released a report lauding their accomplishments over the last term.

“We really did accomplish a lot,” said Mayor Rick Bonnette.

“I look back on this past term of council with great pride when I consider what staff was able to accomplish. Climate change was one area where we really advanced the agenda by completing numerous studies and plans on adaptation, energy, fleet electrification and low carbon facility designs and this year we launched our home retrofit program.”

Every four years, council sets the direction for the term ahead, identifying key priorities and initiatives to guide the work of staff.

The 2019-2022 Strategic Plan focused on seven priority areas:

• Shaping growth
• Transportation
• Climate change and the environment
• Fiscal and corporate management
• Local autonomy and advocacy
• Ensure a vibrant agricultural community
• Youth and senior initiatives

An overview of accomplishments for the past term including studies, strategies and deliverables have been documented in a collection of summary information sheets posted on the Town’s website.
