Help inform the Government of Ontario’s review of regional municipalities 

Ontario is launching online consultation for the regional government review of eight regional municipalities and their lower-tiers.  In total, 82 municipalities are included in the review.

The government invites our members to share their thoughts on the municipalities where you live, work or spend time.  The government wants to hear your views on the way your municipal elected representatives make their decisions and represent your community.  They also want your thoughts and observations on the efficiency, effectiveness and cost of the various municipal services that your municipalities provide. The objective of this review is to ensure that these municipalities are providing the vital services that residents and local businesses depend on.

The deadline for providing comments is April 23, 2019.
