Ontario municipal government
Ontario municipal government manages local services and affairs within cities, towns, and districts. It is responsible for areas like roads, public transit, water and sewage, waste collection, parks, libraries, and local policing. Elected officials, such as mayors and city councilors, make decisions on budgets, policies, and community development. The municipal government operates independently of provincial and federal governments but must comply with higher-level laws. It plays a key role in shaping daily life and ensuring community well-being through local governance, planning, and service delivery.
