  • register and maintain a registry of births, marriages, deaths, still-births, adoptions and changes of name events that occur in Ontario;
  • provide proof of registration services in the form of certificates or certified copies of the original registration record;
  • provide statistical data for research and public policy-making purposes; and
  • regulate and maintain a register of individuals authorized to solemnize marriages in Ontario.

This report summarizes operational statistics compiled from registrations of births, marriages, deaths, still-births, adoptions and change of name events as reported to the ORG. Each report pertains to events that occurred during the calendar year of the report year, and is made available to the public in compliance with the Vital Statistics Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter V.4, subsection 3(5).
