Ontario Proposing Changes to Ontario Municipal Board to Improve Efficiency and Accessibility
PROVINCE SEEKING PUBLIC INPUT ON BOARD'S SCOPE AND PROCESS 
Ontario is undertaking a comprehensive review of how the  Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) operates and its role in the province's land-use planning system to help make it more efficient and more accessible to all Ontarians.
The OMB plays a central role in Ontario's  land-use planning process as an independent, public body through which people can appeal or defend land-use decisions that affect their property or community. 
Ontarians wishing to participate in the consultation may submit comments  online or in person at one of the  town hall meetings being held across the province this fall.
Comments must be submitted by  December 19, 2016 .
