Municipal Services and Building Regulation - vote 1902
The objectives of this program are to build strong local governments, encourage well planned, safe, complete and thriving communities and to increase the supply of housing through the direct engagement with municipal clients responsible for providing services and implementing programs within Municipal Services and Building Regulation’s core businesses. It is also the province’s key point of contact with the building sector on matters related to Ontario’s Building Code. Its main priorities are to: oversee the implementation of the Municipal Act, the Planning Act, the Housing Services Act, the Building Code Act and related legislation, regulations, policies and programs; strengthen municipal capacity to achieve financial sustainability, prosperity and resiliency; lead the province’s one-window land-use planning and assist municipalities in delivering their full land-use planning and growth management authority; and protect public safety in buildings. This program includes provincial disaster assistance programs and manages the ministry’s Order-in-Council Emergency Management Program.
