    History

    The Ontario Growth Secretariat (OGS) is leading the implementation of the government's Places to Grow initiative. Places to Grow is a province-wide initiative that aims to manage Ontario's population growth, support economic prosperity and achieve a high quality of life for all Ontarians.

    The Secretariat also works with multiple ministries to ensure the government's policies and funding support is consistent with the goals of Places to Grow. The Secretariat's multi-disciplinary team works with communities across the province to help develop and implement regional growth plans such as the award-winning Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and the Growth Plan for Northern Ontario.

    Between 2002 and 2003 the OGS was called The Smart Growth Secretariat.
