Municipal Toolkit

THE ROLE OF MUNICIPALITIES IN CANADA

Municipalities play a crucial role in ensuring that Canadians have access to housing. While housing falls under the jurisdiction of the provincial and federal governments, municipalities are responsible for implementing and enforcing local bylaws and regulations related to housing. This includes zoning and land use regulations, building codes, and property standards.

This toolkit, which will grow over time, can help guide conversations at the municipal level by providing information and resources on best practices for addressing housing issues.
