A Message from Your Municipality

By-laws are local laws passed by your Municipality to ensure a respectful and well-maintained community. While they are not Provincial or Federal laws, they are legally enforceable and must be followed by all residents and property owners.

Why Are By-laws Important?

By-laws address local issues that help protect your quality of life. Some examples include:

  • Zoning By-laws: These regulate property use. For instance, a factory in a residential area would bring noise, traffic, and pollution—zoning rules help prevent such disruptions.
  • Property Standards: By-laws prevent excessive litter and unkempt properties, preserving property values and neighborhood appeal.
  • Pet Control: While you may love your pets, your neighbors may not—by-laws ensure everyone's right to enjoy their property and community.

The Municipality will be sharing more information on its by-laws soon. Please be mindful of your neighbors when making decisions about your property.

Thank you for being a considerate and informed resident!
