DescriptionThe New Reform Party of Ontario (NRP; French: Nouveau Parti Reformiste de l’Ontario) is a minor provincial political party in Ontario, Canada that promotes a populist, fiscally conservative, socially conservative, libertarian, and localist ideology. It was formed in Hamilton in 1987 as the Family Coalition Party of Ontario (FCP) through 11,000 signatures fulfilling the Elections Ontario requirements by members from the Liberals for Life (a splinter group of the Liberal Party of Canada) and members of the pro-life organization Campaign Life Coalition. Its federal counterpart has been the pro-life Christian Heritage Party of Canada, which distantly supports the FCP provincially, since its creation in 1988. It has fielded candidates in every provincial election since then. None of its candidates have ever been elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

The FCP joined with some executive members of the Reform Party of Ontario (RPO) and grassroots members of the Ontario Reform movement in 2015 to form the New Reform Party of Ontario. The merged entity holds populist democratic reform ideals side by side with its conservative social values. It has begun to overhaul its principles, policies, and platform, rebranding of the FCP into the NRP, reorganizing the central office, reestablishing provincial executive council regionally, and renewing policy advisory, consultation, and development with its grassroots membership in time for the next provincial election in Fall 2018.

The current leader of the NRP Ontario is James Gault and provincial party president is Lynne Scime.
