The GTA Caucus of RPCO comprises members from:

The Caucus's philosophy is that a co-ordinated approach to regional planning is beneficial given that GTA regions share similar challenges, values and are all part of the same economic region. Increasing population growth demands for infrastructure, transportation and human services, in combination with increasing levels of municipal responsibility, underscore the need for a higher degree of planning co-ordination anong the GTA regions.

 

Currently the GTA Caucus is examining Growth Management issues as they impact the GTA.  The GTA Caucus has developed a Centres and Corridors report.

 

The GTA Caucus has developed a GTA Agricultural Action Plan. An GTA Agricultural Action Committee was formed, and a job posting for the Agricultural Action Committee Executive Director was posted in November 2005.  In March 2009 a GTA Demographic Profile was released. The Profile provides the agricultural industry with information to assist in identifying GTA markets and their geographic location through population, immigration and economic Census data.
