Mapping Collaboration: An Evaluation Framework to Assess Municipal Government Responses to PPS 2020

Description:

This report is the result of a collaborative research project undertaken by a team of University of Toronto graduate students under the guidance of the Shared Path Consultation Initiative. Focusing on municipal Official Plans - which are the primary documents through which PPS directives are implemented at the municipal level - the project had two specific intentions: 1.) To critically assess the current landscape of municipal-Indigenous relationships, based on Official Plan content 2.) To develop an evaluation framework through which municipal Official Plans could be assessed for consistency with the 2020 PPS directives on Indigenous rights, and which could function as a guiding reference document for implementation work at the municipal level.
