Ontario. Land and Water Policy Branch

The Land and Water Policy Branch was formed in late 2005 or early 2006 as part of the Integrated Environmental Planning Division with the merger of two separate branches: the Land Use Policy Branch and the Water Policy Branch. The latter branches had also been part of this division prior to the merger.

The Land and Water Policy Branch (LWPB), is responsible for developing policies and programs related to Ontario's land and water resources. Through recognizing emerging environmental trends, conducting research and analysis, working with ministries and governments, and consulting with stakeholders, the LWPB supports the development of legislation, regulations, policies and programs for the protection and wise management of the Province's land and water resources while promoting ecological, environmental and socio-economic sustainability. The LWPB is also engaged in the development and implementation of ecosystem-based environmental strategies that aim to achieve the Ministry's objectives of cleaner air, land, and water, and healthier ecosystems.
