Rural Halton's Hidden Gems: Census Reveals Unique Needs and History
The 2021 Census of Population and the Census of Agriculture have provided valuable insights into the people, economy, and changing landscape of rural Halton. Despite urbanisation, some farms remain, and the region's rural areas hold significant historical and cultural value. The Community Data Watch (CDW) focuses on rural Halton, unlike most CDW publications that centre on urban areas.
Halton Region, Ontario, consists of four municipalities: Burlington, Halton Hills, Oakville, and Milton, which are predominantly urban. However, rural areas exist within Halton Hills and parts of Burlington, Milton, and Oakville. These areas are statistically categorised but not officially listed as separate villages. Despite this, many historical rural settlement names and villages are known locally, such as Acton, Georgetown, Glen Williams, and Campbellville.
The CDW publication aims to understand the distinct needs and characteristics of rural Halton's population, which comprises approximately 2% of the region's residents, over 23,000 people. Rural Halton is rich in history, culture, and economic activity, particularly in agriculture. The event to discuss the CDW publication's highlights is open to public participation.
