Halton Information Providers is a coalition of the four Community
Information Centres in Halton (CICs); Information Halton Hills, Information Burlington, Information
Milton and Information Oakville.
The four CICs are all members of the
Association of
Community Information Centres in Ontario.
Each individual centre is primarily concerned with helping
residents in their respective municipality to access the
services they need for survival and general well being,
including emergency services that assist with personal and
family crises.
HIP is a founding member of the
CIOC has developed innovative community based software for
on-line access and maintenance of community information
and volunteer databases. This internet based application
is being implemented across the province in numerous locations.
The Halton implementation of this database and web interface
currently contains close to 4,000 searchable and current
records of programs and services available for the residents
of Halton.
