Provincial entities are provincial government organizations and agencies that are included in the government reporting entity but fall outside the core operations of the provincial government. (Core government is generally understood to be comprised of government ministries, the Office of the Premier, and legislative offices.) 

Therefore, under the LTA, the term “Provincial entity” refers generally to provincial government agencies or organizations outside core government. 

Provincial entities include: 

• Crown corporations 

• School districts

 • Public sector post-secondary institutions such as colleges and universities 

• Health authorities
