The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) oversees the management of Ontario’s natural resources including forests, fisheries, wildlife, aggregates, petroleum resources and Crown lands.
MNR’s mandate is to ensure that the people of Ontario benefit from the health and wealth of the province’s natural resources, today and in the future.
The Ministry strives to achieve its mandate by promoting knowledge of Ontario’s natural resources, their management and opportunities for enjoyment; strengthening management of natural resources to ensure environmental integrity and resilience; and increasing natural resource-related economic benefits through innovation and sustainable resource management.
MNR provides support to the province, including frontline wildland fire management operations, in the delivery of emergency management responsibilities in Ontario, while providing services to protect people and economic values from wildland fires, floods, drought, subsurface gas migration and other natural hazards.
MNR works with Indigenous communities, forest industry, aggregates sector and other partners to encourage responsible, sustainable development. The Ministry engages with Indigenous communities to fulfill the Crown’s legal duty to consult, in order to inform the development and implementation of economic policies, programs and initiatives. The Ministry also works to increase Indigenous partnership and participation in the forestry and aggregates sectors, including resource revenue sharing.
