12/12 Council agenda includes a Staff report recommending Township input to the Province on the review of the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).   Significant changes to the scope of OMB influence and how that influence is enacted is very much needed.  The Staff report is a relatively easy way to understand specific options for modifying how the OMB functions.  For more information here is link to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs.  Input from citizens is very much wanted; final date for providing input is December 19th.  Environmental Defense is posting several case studies as to why there needs to be change;  here’s one and here’s another.  The former is a case study from King; the latter is one which cold be in King.  If you agree there needs to be change please sign the petition.
