The County of Haliburton is dedicated to creating a community where all people have equal opportunity to live, visit, raise a family, work and retire. We're committed to complying with the legislated codes and standards to be able to achieve this. This includes the Ontario Human Rights Code, Ontarians with Disabilities Act, and the Accessibility for Ontarians' with Disability Act (AODA).
