Halton Physician Association Annual General Meeting
What's New
Halton Physician Association Membership Overview
The Halton Physician Association (HPA) continues to evolve to better represent and support physicians across Oakville, Milton, and Halton Hills. As part of this next phase, we are formalizing our membership structure to ensure that the HPA remains a strong, credible, and physician-led voice for our community.
We are asking all current members to review and sign the updated HPA Membership Agreement. Signing the agreement confirms your membership, ensures you are included in our official registry, and enables the HPA to operate in accordance with Ontario not-for-profit governance requirements.
Importantly, over the coming weeks, the HPA will be establishing a new Executive Board, with members invited to put their names forward and to vote in the election process. Only registered members who have signed the updated agreement will be eligible to:
- Be considered for a position on the HPA Executive
- Vote in upcoming HPA elections
- Participate fully in member decision-making and governance
This process is essential to strengthening the HPA’s mandate, ensuring appropriate quorum for decision-making, and positioning the Association to effectively connect, support and empower Halton physicians in providing high quality, equitable, effective patient-centered care.
We encourage you to take a few moments to complete your registration by reviewing and signing the agreement at the link below. Your participation helps ensure that the HPA remains inclusive, representative, and responsive to the needs of our physician community.
Thank you for your continued engagement and commitment to advancing collaborative, high-quality, patient-centred care across Halton. We look forward to your participation in shaping the future leadership and direction of the HPA.
Warm regards,
Halton Physician Association Executive

FREE Course - Talking About Suicide
Talking About Suicide: Empowering Healthcare Providers, Instilling Hope in Clients is a free, online micro learning course developed in partnership with the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC).
As a healthcare provider, you work with individuals navigating complex medical, social, and emotional challenges. Suicide is one of the most difficult subjects to raise—but it’s also one of the most important. These conversations can feel uncertain and even isolating without the right tools or support.
Funding Opportunity for Halton Physicians
Physicians in the Halton region are invited to apply for the Ontario Health and Boehringer Ingelheim Canada Digital Health Care Transformation Challenge. This funding opportunity supports innovative uses of existing AI-powered digital tools to improve care for patients with chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, CKD, heart failure, or other cardiovascular diseases. Proposals must focus on new applications—not the expansion of current uses.
