The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing strives to create strong communities that are well designed and planned, better able to provide a healthy living environment and sustain thriving local economies by attracting jobs and investment.  We work to implement a land use planning system that is simple and streamlined, where there are better and more timely land use planning decisions, and where municipalities have the major role in making planning decisions.  Together with other ministries, we identify and protect provincial interests and promote sound infrastructure planning, environmental protection, economic development and safe communities.
