Bill 142 2013

Act to proclaim Major William Halton Day

Preamble

Major

William Halton came to Upper Canada, the present day Ontario, in 1806, as the

private secretary to Lieutenant Governor Sir Francis Gore (1806-1811,

1815-1816). In 1816, Halton was named to the position of Provincial Agent in

England. He became known for his courageous efforts to assist veterans and

their families in Upper Canada after the War of 1812.

Halton's

role in Ontario's early development was celebrated in the numerous provincial

place names established in his honour, including Halton County which became The

Regional Municipality of Halton. Initially settled by United Empire Loyalists

and immigrants from Britain, Halton Region is today a dynamic home to nearly

half a million people of the various backgrounds reflecting the Canadian

multicultural mosaic. Halton Region is presently the fastest growing

municipality in Canada. Also, both the House of Commons of Canada and the

Legislative Assembly of Ontario have ridings named for William Halton.
