Fall Municipal Election 2026
Halton residents went to the polls on Monday October 26 to elect their municipal representation across the region. Your CARP Halton chapter contacted every candidate running in each of the 42 constituencies across Halton (Milton 9, Halton Hills 11, Burlington 7 and Oakville 15). Each candidate was asked the following question;
“If elected, what steps or actions would you take to improve the lives of seniors in your constituency?”
We posted all the responses as we received them on this page. Seniors are a large voting block and we hope this information helped you choose who to vote for.
We now know the winners and it is important that we continue to work with them to ensure they deliver on their promises. We encourage CARP members to keep an eye on what their representatives are doing for seniors and to contact them directly to check on their actions. Our CARP Halton Chapter Advocacy Director will also be contacting each representative on a regular basis for an update.
To help with this click on the following links to your Ward where you will find the winners and the response they provided to our question.
After clicking on your selection, a small box or ballon will appear in the top right corner. Click on that. If it does not appear or is gone before you have a chance to click on it, click the download button in the top right corner. This is the button with the downward pointing arrow.

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.
