Halton Region Seeking Public Input on Key Priorities for 2023-2026
Here are guidelines before you comment, and our expectations before we will post:
Be civil. Would you speak this way to a good friend? If not, rewrite.

Don’t make personal attacks. Don’t assume the motives of those you disagree with, make unfounded accusations, spread rumors, or engage in any other…
