 New to Canada?

Welcome to Halton! Picture of Canadian Flag

As a newcomer, you will need to know all about our schools and how to register your child. This section of the website is dedicated to providing you with basic newcoming information.

Register your child at your local community Catholic school office. If you require assistance with registration, please contact the Halton Multicultural Council for assistance. A Youth Settlement Worker, that speaks your language, will be pleased to assist you!
