Despite its reputation as a more rural area of the GTA, there are no shortages of conveniences in Milton. From shopping areas, to schools, public programs, and transportation, the services in Milton have kept up with the town ’ s rapid growth and are some of the biggest highlights of the area.
Milton is serviced by Halton Healthcare, a regional organization that supports a network of hospitals in the GTA and focuses on Milton, Oakville, and Halton Hills. Part of this healthcare network is the Milton District Hospital, built in 1959 and renovated as recently as 2017. The 2017 renovation ex- panded the hospital, adding over 300,000 square feet of new healthcare space.
For further day - trips or daily commutes, Milton is included in the convenient GO Transit networks that connects many of the communities in the GTA. The Milton Station is visited by both a GO Train and GO Bus that go all the way to Union Station. Both options will take just over an hour to com- plete their journey into Toronto.
