CVC OFFICE CLOSURE
At this time, the CVC head office is closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Staff are working remotely and any meetings with staff should continue to occur digitally via email, phone or video conference, if possible. Please contact your CVC planner or regulations officer regarding an active file you have with us. For new files, please call our office at 905-670-1615 ext. 0 or email us at planning@cvc.ca and the appropriate staff person will get back to you.

PLANNING COUNTER AND GENERAL INQUIRIES
At this time, the CVC head office continues to be closed to the public. If you have a general inquiry or would like information from our planning counter the best method of contact is via email at planning@cvc.ca. Any meetings with staff should continue to occur digitally via email, phone or video conference, if possible. There is no walk-in service available at this time.

ENHANCED DIGITAL ACCESS
We continue our high-quality commitment to client service by being available via email, video conference or phone and for site visits, inspections or feature staking. For existing files, submissions can be made digitally – and there continue to be several options to make payments so please consult with your file contact. You can help us by prioritizing your business-critical needs, ensuring submissions are complete, on time and digital where possible. General inquiries and new permit applications can continue to be directed via email to planning@cvc.ca. Although we prefer to receive digital submissions, you can drop off hard (paper) files or applications to our Head Office. Note due to the limited access staff has to the office, there may be delays in processing hard (paper) copy submissions.

FILE STATUS COMMUNICATION
As always, staff will continue to communicate with you. We will inform you on the status of our review and your application. We’ll also keep you up to date if there are any changes and when our office will re-open to the public.

ENFORCEMENT
If you would like to report a violation or what may be unlawful activity you can contact one of our Regulations Officers. Call 905-670-1615 extension 0 or email us at planning@cvc.ca. You can make an anonymous report by phone.
