Services

Are you looking for help from a government service but unsure of what level of government can help you? This guide can assist you.

Canada has three levels of government, Municipal, Provincial and Federal. Each have their own set of responsibilities and explicit authority. This means that generally, one level of government cannot overrule another’s jurisdiction.
