In Ontario, Regional Chairs (District Chair in Muskoka District; Warden in Oxford County) chair the council for the province's regional municipalities. As head of council, they also act as chief executive officer of the municipal corporation, as legislated by section 225 of the Ontario Municipal Act. The chair has been elected in Waterloo Region since 1997 and in Halton Region since 2000, will be elected in Durham Region as of October 2014 and is appointed by elected councillors in other regional municipalities.

In the former Metropolitan Toronto, now the amalgamated City of Toronto government, the regional chair was called Metro Chairman.
