Background

The Ministry of Government Relations was directed to complete a review of the Municipal Revenue Sharing (MRS) Grant program in 2018-2019. One of the main objectives of the MRS Grant review was to provide recommendations on how MRS Grants could encourage effective local governance.  To support this objective, the ministry implemented annual eligibility requirements for municipalities to receive their unconditional MRS Grants.
