The Guidelines are intended to help municipalities, decision-makers, farmers and others interpret the policies in the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement on the range of uses permitted in prime agricultural areas.  

To submit your thoughts and ideas, you can fill out the questionnaire posted on OMAFRA’s website or send an email or letter.  We are inviting comments until May 13, 2015.
