Flags will be lowered to half-mast at Halton Regional facilities in honour of our colleague Russell (Russ) McCrae, who recently passed away.

Russ served Halton Region as a Senior Inspector in Public Works since 2007, helping residents and businesses across our community. He was also a longtime coach and mentor in Burlington’s hockey community.

Our thoughts are with Russ’s family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time.

🧡 Today, Halton Region raised the Survivors’ flag and then lowered all flags to half-mast in honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

We remember the Indigenous children who were taken from their families and placed in Residential Schools, and those who did not return home. We honour the survivors, families, and communities.

September 30 is also , inspired by the story of Phyllis Webstad—a powerful reminder that Every Child Matters.

This day calls on all of us to reflect, learn, and take meaningful action toward Reconciliation. At Halton Region, we are committed to building respectful relationships with First Nations, Indigenous Communities and Peoples and advance the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action.

🏠 Access to affordable housing plays an important role in the health and well-being of individuals, families and communities.

Nearly one in four Halton households spends more than 30 per cent of its income on housing—a commonly used measure of housing affordability.

By monitoring local data, we can better understand the pressures residents are experiencing and how our community’s needs are changing.
