Our Process
Transparent, Consistent, Proven
Our process is open, transparent and proven, delivering value for public money.
Infrastructure Ontario has built an international reputation for excellence and a proven track record of success in delivering public-private partnerships. Similarly, we’ve built a process for delivering Development projects that can be trusted by stakeholders.
Our five-stage process achieves the provincial government’s goals for the use of public lands for the benefit of all Ontarians.
