Welcome to OnRAMP
The Ontario Government is responding to the varying needs of municipalities by initiating a regional web portal project – the Ontario Regional Area Municipal Portal (OnRAMP). These web pages are designed to enhance municipal client information and support services. The Central OnRAMP provides an online portal to government resources tailored to the needs of municipalities in Central Ontario. Regional Web portals are being developed for the remaining Municipal Service Offices and regions of Ontario. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing’s Central Ontario Municipal Services Office is pleased to offer you this portal.

Municipal Search Tool
The OnRAMP regional search tool has been recently replaced with a search tool created by AMCTO with support from the Ministry. This new search tool allows you to search all municipal websites, or to limit your search to municipal websites within central Ontario. In addition, you can search by AMCTO zone, by size of municipality and by northern vs. southern municipalities. Click here to open the AMCTO search tool in a new window.
