Ontario Consent and Capacity Board

The Ontario Consent and Capacity Board (CCB) is an independent tribunal that makes decisions about whether individuals in Ontario can make their own health care, legal, and property decisions. It also reviews cases where someone's ability to give consent or make decisions is questioned, often relating to mental health or cognitive capacity. The CCB aims to protect people's rights while ensuring they receive appropriate care and support. Its role is to balance respecting individual autonomy with providing necessary protection when capacity is in doubt, based on assessments and legal standards.
