Ontario is implementing a hiring freeze throughout all 143 agencies, boards, and commissions within the province as it seeks to reduce expenses and bring the bodies in line with the public service.
The province says the new hiring freeze put in place as of Sept. 27 will impact personnel in public agencies who carry out regulatory, advisory, adjudicative, or service-delivery roles and will be identical to the 2018 hiring freeze implemented by Premier Doug Ford for all provincial ministries such as education, health care, social services, transportation, and public safety.
