The adult day program runs every Wednesday at Lloyd Watson Centre and provides a structured, therapeutic and individualized day program for adults who are living at home - either alone, or with family caregivers. Within a group setting, the Day Program offers supervised activities to assist participants in achieving and maintaining their maximum level of function, to prevent premature and inappropriate institutionalization, and to provide respite and support for caregivers.

The County of Haliburton has launched a community-wide Affordability and Governance Structure Study that will look at ways to simplify government processes and provide better value for taxpayers.

The Study Team has developed a community engagement plan with opportunities for as many people as possible to share ideas. No decision would be made right away. The Study is about getting more information to help inform what we do next. Ultimately, any decisions around the future of Haliburton County will be made by the 2026-2030 councils.

How to participate

Residents are invited to participate by taking an online survey hosted by the County of Haliburton.

There will also be a series of public open houses held in late June, with one at the Lloyd Watson Memorial Centre on Tuesday, June 23 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and a virtual session (registration required) on June 24, 2026.
