Community Standards

Community Standards Bylaw

The Community Standards Bylaw (No. 21/010) amalgamates five existing Bylaws into one comprehensive document. The incorporation and modernization of these bylaws allow for residents to locate information more easily about standards for neighbourhood issues including noise, yard and property maintenance and nuisances.
