On September 29th, 2026, the Ministry of Health, in collaboration with Ontario Health, launched the 2027-2028 Call for Proposals (round three) to invest more than $250 million to attach 600,000 more people in Ontario to primary care. See announcement.

As of February 2026, two rounds of proposals have been implemented by Ontario Health and the Ministry of Health. In round one, one of three local proposals within Ottawa OHT-ÉSO’s assigned geography of responsibility was successful. In round two, for fiscal year 2026-27, all six proposals from within Ottawa OHT-ÉSO’s geography were successful.

Again, OHTs will play a central role in working with local primary care clinicians and teams to develop and submit proposals that align with the four strategic priorities of this funding opportunity:

1. 1. Primary care attachment

1. 1. Readiness to implement

1. 1. Supporting geographic coverage

1. 1. Meeting primary care objectives

Provided below area the documents required for submission. Additional information, templates and supporting resources on our website as they become available.
