Haliburton County wins national award!

We are pleased to announce that the County of Haliburton was a recipient of a Sustainable Communities award from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities in the transportation category, for the Share the Road project they undertook last year. Partners in this project included the Health Unit, Cycling Coalition, Communities in Action Committee, OPP, U-Links and all four municipalities.

This is great recognition for Haliburton County, and acknowledges innovative efforts to apply concepts like transportation demand management, commuter challenge and share the road messaging in a rural environment.
