Fall Municipal Election 2026
Halton residents go to the polls Monday October 26 to elect their municipal representation across the region. Your CARP Halton chapter will be in contact with every candidate running in each of the 42 constituencies across Halton (Milton 9, Halton Hills 11, Burlington 7 and Oakville 15). Each candidate will be asked the following question;
“If elected, what steps or actions would you take to improve the lives of seniors in your constituency?”
Below you will find the list of candidates in each of our municipalities. We will ask candidates to limit their responses to 250 words. Their responses, or lack thereof, will be posted beneath their names.
Halton Chapter encourages all seniors in Halton to vote. Local politicians know that Seniors are a large voting block and with our strong voice we can have a big impact on election results. We hope the responses we get to our question will help you choose who will get your vote.

Halton Chapter’s 2025 Advocacy Survey and Ongoing Actions
The results of the Halton Chapters Advocacy Survey were shared with members and local MPPS during meetings in January. The survey, completed by over 760 members, overwhelmingly identified health care wait times, aging at home and long term care availability as the most critical concerns. The presentation highlighted that 75+ seniors are the fastest growing age group, and the current health care system cannot absorb demand without innovations in how health care is resourced and delivered. CARP’s priority actions identified included building an aging at home first system, prioritizing wellness and prevention, expanding healthcare workforce capability and emphasizing healthcare and social services in high schools vs technology. The presentation was well received by local MPPS who committed to raising the concerns with provincial health care, finance and seniors ministries.
