👉Ontario's Doug Ford government is moving forward with the separation of the Peel Region cities, setting the stage for Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon to become autonomous municipalities by 2025. Proposed legislation was introduced at Queen's Park, establishing a transition board to oversee a fair and balanced process. The board, consisting of up to five members appointed by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, will provide recommendations in 2024. Key areas of analysis include untangling regional services, property tax arrangements, and financial sustainability. While the board will oversee financial decisions, its influence on city decisions remains unclear. As the transition progresses, these services are expected to fall under municipal jurisdiction, ensuring uninterrupted local services. Some services, like police and utility rates, may still be managed regionally. Additional legislation to address restructuring matters may be proposed in 2024, and the official disintegration of Peel Region will occur by January 1, 2025.✅ . . #PeelRegion #OntarioCities #MunicipalRestructuring #AutonomousMunicipalities #FairAndBalancedProcess #TransitionBoard #FinancialSustainability #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
