The Ontario Provincial Government currently maintains the following eight (8) regional municipalities: (regional seats are listed in brackets)
- 1) Durham Regional Municipality (Whitby)
- 2) Halton Regional Municipality (Milton)
- 3) Muskoka District Municipality (Bracebridge)
- 4) Niagara Regional Municipality (Thorold)
- 5) Oxford County (Woodstock)
- 6) Peel Regional Municipality (Brampton)
- 7) Waterloo Regional Municipality (Kitchener)
- 8) York Regional Municipality (Newmarket
Regional municipalities (or regions) are upper-tier municipalities usually implemented from census divisions of interconnected clusters where urban centres form the majority of the division's area and population is not so clearly dominated by a single municipality. Although Oxford County and the District Municipality of Muskoka are not titled as such, they are both legally considered Regional Municipalities under Part 1, Section 1 of the Ontario Municipal Act.
