Future updates to reflect this amendment will build on work completed under Peel 2041 thus far to support the Region’s vision for A Community for Life.

What is the Municipal Comprehensive Review?
A Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) is a process required under the 2019 A Place to Grow Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and Provincial Policy Statement.
