Planning in Ontario is governed by The Planning Act 1990, along with various other legislations such as The Places to Grow Act 2005 and The Greenbelt Act 2005. These laws, implemented through the Provincial Policy Statement, ensure that local planning reflects community needs while adhering to provincial standards.
Planners are professionals skilled in urban and rural development, environmental planning, and community building.
