Ministry of Transportation is responsible for the approval of subdivision in the rural area. I feel this is also a BIG part of the planning of the Valley.

The Ministry of Transportation now has a profile page in Valley Vision.
We want to post similar profiles of other agencies. If you work in an agency or any planning-related group, *please download Valley Vision's profile questionaire:* Profile questionaire.doc The questioniare includes information about how your organization can support Valley Vision financially. At this time, funding is not a pre-requisite to posting your organization's profile. (Comment updated June 4, 2008)
