MGA Review refers to periodic provincial reviews and updates of Municipal Government Acts, the legislation defining municipal powers, responsibilities, and governance structures. Provinces periodically review their municipal legislation to address emerging issues, modernize outdated provisions, and respond to municipal requests for additional powers. These reviews may result in significant legislative changes affecting everything from council procedures to municipal finance to land use planning powers. Municipal associations actively participate in MGA reviews, advocating for changes benefiting local governments. Understanding MGA review processes helps municipal officials and engaged citizens influence the legislative framework governing their communities.
