The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) is committed to the safety and well-being of those who call Halton home. This includes rigorously and thoroughly investigating all reports of hate and/or bias motivated incidents and supporting those affected by it.

To ensure that the HRPS is fulfilling its mandate in this key area of policing, the Service has engaged prominent third-party consultant, Dr. Barbara Perry. Dr. Perry is the Director of the Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism and is recognized internationally for her groundbreaking work in this field.

Dr. Perry’s study will include an analysis of HRPS’ policy mandates, reporting mechanisms, and annual reports, as well as interviews with Service personnel, and community members who are most likely to be subjected to or impacted by hate.

In addition to the above and to help understand broader community perceptions regarding HRPS’ management of hate crime, Dr. Perry is extending an invitation to members of the community – including those who live in Halton or who have had interactions with the HRPS in the context of hate  and/or bias motivated incidents – to participate in a short, confidential survey.

The survey can be completed from now until December 2, 2022, at https://bit.ly/policinghatecrimehrps.

Have your say: Help shape how stories are told at the Museums of Burlington!

The Museums of Burlington is in the process developing a new Strategic Plan that will guide its direction over the next five years. This strategic plan is guided by the Museums’ commitment to enhancing audience experience, building stronger community connections, and inspiring a passion for history and heritage in Burlington.

To assist the Museums of Burlington in this endeavour, we are calling on the Burlington community to take part in a brief 10–15-minute survey. Your response will help us gain a better understanding of audience engagement and experiences with the Joseph Brant Museum and Ireland House Museum, and will be used to inform the direction of the resulting Strategic Plan.

The Museums of Burlington has engaged Nordicity, a consulting firm with expertise in arts and culture strategic planning, to develop the strategic plan. Nordicity will gather and analyze the results of this survey as a neutral, independent third party.
