Halton Region, incorporated in 1974 by the Province of Ontario, is comprised of four municipalities: The City of Burlington and the Towns of Halton Hills, Milton and Oakville.
The Town of Oakville and the City of Burlington make up the urban area to the south, and the Towns of Halton Hills and Milton make up the largely rural area to the north announce that the Honourable Maxime Bernier, Minister of Industry, announced the launch of BizPaL in Halton Region.
BizPaL is an innovative project designed to help Canadian businesses save time when accessing licensing and permit information from multiple levels of government.
This unique partnership between federal, provincial, territorial, regional and municipal governments provides entrepreneurs and business people in Halton Region and the towns of Halton Hills and Milton with simplified access to the information they need to launch or grow their businesses.
Business owners and entrepreneurs can access the service from municipal websites http://www.halton.ca, http://www.haltonhills.ca and http://www.milton.ca.
Based on the responses to a number of interactive questions on the nature and location of the business, the online service generates a customized list of required government permits and licences.
The list includes basic information about the permits and licences, the order in which they should be obtained, contact information and, in some cases, links to begin the application process.
