The Transition to e-Government
By applying I&IT strategically to all areas of government activities where it makes sense, the government will provide its customers with seamless, efficient and effective service and provide better value to Ontario taxpayers.  Our goal is to ensure that Ontario is the best place to live, learn, work, do business and visit.

Through the transition to e-Government, the province of Ontario is:

  • making more strategic use of Information and Information Technology (I&IT) throughout the Ontario Public Service (OPS) and in the broader public sector (such as education and health) 
  • implementing government-wide I&IT initiatives to support the people and businesses in Ontario

Since 1998, the province has been building the foundations for e-Government in Ontario.  Key building blocks for e-Government have been put in place to bring about significant improvement in the government’s I&IT capacity. 

Building Block 1:  The Information and Information Technology (I&IT) Strategy
Constructed on the foundation established by the I&IT Strategy are three other e-Government building blocks:

Building Block 2:  An electronic service delivery strategy has allowed the development of a range of electronic services for citizens and businesses to make the Ontario government a world leader in delivering services online.
Building Block 3:  A series of initiatives to transform major public-sector systems, such as justice, health and education, to improve outcomes for the public.
Building Block 4: The e-Government Strategy

We are building a better government by improving the way we do business.  By improving service delivery we give our customers seamless, efficient and effective service and provide better value to Ontario taxpayers.

To strengthen its citizen-centred approach to government, the province has begun to develop a strategy on citizen engagement. One component of this strategy is intended to expand the use of electronic channels, mainly the Internet, to help bring citizens closer to their government. The goal is to ensure citizens have access to a wide range of tools and information that will enable them to participate more fully in the democratic process.

Archives of Ontario’s inaugural exhibit

On September 15, The Honourable Harinder S. Takhar, Minister of Government Services, launched the Archives of Ontario’s inaugural exhibit in its facilities, which opened at York University this spring.  The exhibit, Ontario – On the Map, demonstrates how the purpose of early provincial maps changed from tools for settlement and exploitation of resources to tools for understanding the evolving cultural and physical landscape of Ontario.
