Summary
In December 2015, the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing received an extensive set of recommendations for improving the province’s management of growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH). The GGH, a collection of municipalities around Lake Ontario, is the engine of Ontario’s economy and Canada’s fastest growing urban region. In an effort to accommodate this growth, the province has established a framework of provincial plans intended to guide development in the area while protecting its natural resources.
