Background
Earlier this year, the Province of Ontario conducted the Regional Government Review to examine the governance, decision-making, and service delivery functions of 8 regional municipalities and their lower-tier municipalities. This included Peel, Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon.
The purpose of the review was "to help ensure that these municipalities are working effectively and efficiently, and can continue to provide the vital services that communities depend on." The province held in-person consultations to hear directly from organizations and individuals who live, work and spend time in the municipalities covered by the review. A public consultation meeting with the provincial Advisors took place on May 8, 2019 from 10 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. in Peel Region Council Chambers.
