RPRA finalizes policy to increase transparency

RPRA has finalized a new policy that will enhance transparency by outlining a process for the public to make formal requests for clarifications about the Authority’s activities and decisions.

The new Formal Public Complaints and Requests for Clarifications Policy applies to the Authority’s activities and decisions including its publications, guidance documents, policies, and bulletins. The policy, however, does not apply to compliance or enforcement decisions, which may be appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal, or matters that were part of a consultation process.

On October 15, 2021, the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks directed RPRA to expand its existing Public Complaints Policy to include a process for responding to requests for clarification made by members of the public.
