Strengthen Ontario’s Provincial Policy Statement as one tool to meet the province’s housing needs

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is undertaking a review of the Provincial Policy Statement on land use and planning.  A strengthened Provincial Policy Statement can be an important tool for communities across the province to ensure all Ontarians have access to a healthy and affordable home.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
