<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is pleased to announce the release today of the new Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 (PPS, 2014).</span></div>
<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">The new PPS, 2014 comes into effect on April 30, 2014 and contains the province’s policies concerning land use planning for Ontario. It provides a strong and clear foundation
for land use planning and development in Ontario. It is the cornerstone of Ontario’s land use planning system, as all planning decisions are required to be consistent with these policies.</span></div>
<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">The new policies give better direction for supporting healthy active communities, strong economies and the responsible management of resources in a clean and healthy environment.</span></div>
<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">The PPS, 2014 recognizes that different regions of the province face different challenges and provides clear direction and additional flexibility to help all communities prosper,
including northern and rural communities.</span></div>
<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">We have also prepared two complementary draft documents for discussion. These highlight the policies in the PPS, 2014 that affect planning in Northern Ontario and rural Ontario,
particularly those that have been added or revised since the Provincial Policy Statement, 2005. The discussion period for these draft documents ends April 25, 2014.</span></div>

<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;">Le ministère des Affaires municipales et du Logement est heureux d’annoncer que la nouvelle Déclaration de principes provinciale de 2014 (DPP de 2014) sera rendue

<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;">La nouvelle DPP de 2014, qui entre en vigueur le 30 avril 2014, énonce les politiques provinciales sur l’aménagement du territoire en Ontario. Elle constitue une
base solide et précise pour la planification de l’utilisation du sol et l’aménagement dans la province. Elle est la pierre angulaire du système d’aménagement du territoire de l’Ontario, car toutes les décisions d’aménagement doivent être conformes avec ses
politiques.</span></div>
<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;">Les nouvelles politiques offrent un meilleur encadrement qui permet de favoriser la création de collectivités saines et actives et d’économies robustes, ainsi
que la gestion responsable des ressources dans un environnement propre et sain.</span></div>

<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;">La DPP de 2014 tient compte du fait que différentes régions de la province connaissent différents problèmes et elle fournit un cadre clair et une souplesse additionnelle
pour aider toutes les collectivités à prospérer, y compris celles du Nord et des régions rurales.</span></div>
<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv8903050562MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;">Nous avons également préparé deux documents provisoires aux fins de discussion. Ils soulignent les politiques de la DPP de 2014 qui touchent l’aménagement dans
le Nord et les régions rurales de l’Ontario, particulièrement celles qui ont été ajoutées ou révisées depuis la Déclaration de principes provinciale de 2005. La période de discussion liée à ces documents provisoires prend fin le 25 avril 2014.</span></div>
