  • Protecting What We Value
    Protecting What We Value Introduction and Context The County of Brant has initiated an update to its Official Plan. An Official Plan, is a document that outlines a municipality’s general land use planning policies in ways that plan for future growth. The process of preparing a new Official Plan requires a Municipal Comprehensive Review to ensure the Official Plan aligns with provincial land-use planning documents. The County of Brant Official Plan must follow the Growth Plan for the Greater Golder Horseshoe, 2019, reflect policy direction from the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020, and incorporate the County’s strategic initiatives, all to create an Official Plan that best suits the County of Brant. To plan for the future, the County will seek guidance from the Province of Ontario and input from the community and key stakeholders, to help create updated policy directions that will help guide our new Official Plan. One of the ways to begin discussions and receive valuable feedback is through the presentation of themed discussion papers. These papers are intended to provide background information on specific topics to help the discussion of important issues and objectives for growth management and land use. Community support is essential to creating and implementing an Official Plan that best reflects a community’s goals.

  • Greater Sudbury a Leading Destination in Northern Ontario
    For Immediate Release Greater Sudbury a leading destination in Northern Ontario Greater Sudbury continues to demonstrate strength in supporting education and employment success January 31, 2017 – Greater Sudbury should build on their role as a leader in education and skills enhancement – particularly for Indigenous and newcomer populations. That is the message coming out of the newest report from the Northern Projections: Human Capital Series, a partnership between Northern Policy Institute and Northern Ontario Workforce Planning Boards. The new report by Dr. Bahktiar Moazzami and James Cuddy found that Greater Sudbury is in a better position than any other census district in Northern Ontario to meet current and future skills requirements. Recent investments in post-secondary institutions in Greater Sudbury indicate a collective awareness of this opportunity. Perhaps even more noteworthy is the fact that it has the highest human capital index – ability to develop and utilize talent - for Indigenous and newcomer populations not only in all of Northern Ontario, but also provincially and nationally. Today, Greater Sudbury has the highest number of newcomers per capita compared to other census districts in Northern Ontario. While these are positive signs, the city’s total population is expected to remain largely constant from 2013 to 2041, with the labour force expected to decline by about 14 percent during that same period. “With significant numbers of unemployed and underemployed new Canadians in the Greater Toronto Area, there is a real opportunity for Greater Sudbury to address its population challenges by playing to its demonstrated strength in supporting newcomer success,” states Reggie Caverson, Executive Director, Workforce Planning for Sudbury and Manitoulin.
