Bulletin summary

Three Certificates of Property Use were issued to Ray of Hope Inc. for the properties located at 851 King Street East, 432 Charles Street East and 5 Stirling Avenue South in the City of Kitchener.

Why consultation isn't required

On April 1, 2020, the Ontario Government made a temporary regulation to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Ontario Regulation 115/20 exempts all proposals for policies, acts, regulations and instruments from posting requirements under the EBR until 30 days after the declared emergency is terminated.

Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consult with the public on this proposal by posting ERO# 019-1694 for public comment from April 23, 2020 to June 7, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
