Abstract
The paper examines the impact of the Ontario Water Resources Commission (OWRC) on growth in the Metropolitan Toronto region (1956–68) and identifies the mechanisms involved in the decisions regarding servicing schemes. The origins and mandate of the OWRC, and the overlap of interest and jurisdiction with the Metropolitan Toronto Planning Board, are examined by reference to three case studies of servicing schemes in the metropolitan fringe. The analysis is set within a decision-making framework and concludes that metropolitan growth tended to follow servicing decisions more than land use planning decisions.
