	List of Ontario census divisions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A single-tier municipality is either a former regional municipality or a former county, whose municipal governments were amalgamated in the 1990s into a single administration.
		Regional municipalities are usually implemented in census divisions where an interconnected cluster of urban centres forms the majority of the division's area and population.
		Counties may be as large as regional municipalities in population, but their population density is generally lower (although not as low as in a district.) Counties may include major cities, such as London, Kingston and Windsor, but these cities have generally not evolved into urban agglomerations with other communities, as in regions and "megacities".

	Regional municipality (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A regional municipality is a type of Canadian municipal government which works much like a county ; the method of government depends on how it is defined.
		In Ontario, regional municipalities provide many core services to cities, towns, townships and villages within their borders; for example, most provide police protection, and many handle waste management and public transit.
		In Nova Scotia, regional municipalities are a single level of government, and provide all municipal services to their communities.

		Following is a list of the regional county municipalites, territories, and newly amalgamated cities (villes) in the province of Quebec.
		Quebec used to be divided into counties, but in the early 1980s switched over to a new system of county regional municipalities, which seldom follow any of the previous county borders, and only a few have kept names.

		Municipalities are constituted by Settlement and District Units.
		All local and regional government roles in all countries tend to be defined in legislation that has been passed within the last ten years.
		In some countries, municipal governments enjoy relative independence, and are free to enact their own by-laws, although these generally can only be stricter than those at the national level.

		Meredith Miller (MCPC) explained that all 6 municipalities are already working regionally through their open space plans as two separate regions and that the municipalities have regional police for this area.
		A point was also made that it makes sense to have all 6 municipalities in one region with the commonalities they all share on the top of the mountain, such as the school district.
		Meredith Miller (MCPC) recommended that if the regions were to move forward as three and three, that the County will continue the coordinating role and will oversee the activities of both regions to ensure that if and when common linkages are developed through the planning process, that the County would make the other region/consultant aware.
