OFA supports the proposed amendments to the Ontario Water Resources Act under Bill 60, which would allow additional sewage systems under the Building Code to support on-farm worker housing. OFA views the proposal as a positive step toward reducing current inequities and helping farmers address housing needs safely and cost-effectively. OFA notes that the effectiveness of the changes will depend on the specific Building Code amendments and will provide detailed recommendations through related ERO postings.
