Info for improvement districts:
The Improvement District Manual (2.1 MB) has been prepared by the Ministry as a guide for improvement district trustees and staff on matters of policy, governance, finance and planning and engineering.
Every improvement district is governed by a board of elected trustees (elected by area property owners) one of whom acts as the board chair. The powers exercised by the trustees (to enact and enforce its regulations and charges, to assess and collect taxes, to acquire, hold and dispose of lands, to borrow money and to expropriate lands) flow from the improvement district's bylaws, the Local Government Act and other applicable provincial statutes.
