The Peoples Official Plan…

The Peoples Official Plan Coalition advocates for more effective action at the municipal, provincial and federal levels on the climate emergency, the homelessness emergency, housing equity, active transportation, access to greenspace, waste management, walkability, human-scale intensification, food security and other key dimensions of urban life. To this end we work to analyze and shape policy outcomes and their implementation, with a view to greater economic, social and climate justice, and ethical planning practice.

It is in this context that we respectfully submit these comments on the Review of proposed policies adapted from A Place to Grow and Provincial Policy Statement to form a new provincial planning policy instrument, PPS ERO-019-6813.

Participating Organizations

POP coalition members include organizations that advocate for better transit, greater walkability and active transportation, greenspace for all, housing equity, climate change mitigation and adaptation, equity and inclusion, and food security.
