Ontario’s agencies are committed to best practices in governance, but may be at different points along the path to excellence.
Some agencies may have comprehensive practices in place already, and where this is the case, they are encouraged to use the tools to update and enhance them.
Where an agency’s governance practices are still in development, the tools are designed to ensure they have the foundation components in place.
The tools were designed so that agencies can adapt and implement them with minimal effort. You will also find a guide to using the tools as a part of the package.
The suite of tools consist of:
