Municipal Restructuring Activity Summary Table

Municipal restructuring refers to activities that may be responses to changing municipal responsibilities and issues related to growth. Principal forms of municipal restructuring are annexations and amalgamations. Annexations alter municipal boundaries by, for example, moving jurisdiction for land from one municipality to another. Amalgamations are mergers of neighbouring municipalities. The Municipal Act, 2001 sets out a process that municipalities may use to develop local proposals for municipal restructuring.
