Benjamin Rempel Manager Health Promotion Capacity Building Public Health Ontario Members of the Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines Public Health Working Group (LRADG-PHWG) Acknowledgements PHO gratefully acknowledges the leadership and support of the Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines Public Health Working Group (LRADG-PHWG) Co-Chairs in the production of this report. [...] The results received from a 2014 provincial survey of Public Health Units (PHUs), outline the status of MAPs across Ontario, the successes and challenges of MAP implementation, and offer commentary on community involvement in MAP development. [...] The purpose of this report is to provide a provincial snapshot of the implementation of municipal alcohol policies (MAPs) throughout the province of Ontario. [...] The results reported in the Provincial MAP Scan represent a public health unit perspective on MAPs, specifically the status of MAPs across Ontario, the successes and challenges of implementing MAPs, and the community’s opinion on MAP development. [...] When the respondent selected the public health unit to which they belonged, a list of all the municipalities in their respective health unit jurisdiction appeared as rows and a series of questions regarding the status of the MAPs were in columns, as seen in Figure 1. The categories of “Out of District”, “Unincorporated”, and “Unorganized Territory” communities were not included as response options
