Overview

In the Ontario Gazette, we publish all:

  • proclamations issued by the Lieutenant Governor
  • notices, orders, regulations and other documents, within the authority of the Legislature that require publication
  • advertisements, notices and publications that are required from:
    • the Crown
    • any ministry of the Government of Ontario
    • any public authority, or by any officer or person.

Any notices or information that do not meet these requirements, may still be published, at the discretion of the Queen’s Printer.

How to place a notice
