Community Standards Appeal Committee

The Community Standards Appeal Committee (CSAC) is a quasi-judicial committee, which means the meetings are conducted in a court-like manner.

CSAC is a council committee established to:

Hear and adjudicate appeals brought by any person who has received an order under section 545 or 546 of the Municipal Government Act and other related proceedings.
Hear and adjudicate appeals brought by an animal owner who has received an order declaring an animal vicious under section 76 of the Responsible Pet Owner Bylaw No. 19/025.

Filing an Appeal

Appealing a decision or an order is a two-part process: filing an appeal and attending a hearing.

A decision of a designated officer for the declaration of a vicious animal.
An order issued by a designated officer under s. 545 of the Municipal Government act to remedy contraventions.
An order issued by a designated officer under s. 546 of the municipal Government act to remedy dangers and unsightly property.

Section 22 of the Community Standards Appeal Committee Bylaw No. 19/001 indicates: 22. Only a person who is the subject of an MGA order may seek an Appeal and must do so by filing a Notice of Appeal to the Clerk.
Section 77 of the Responsible Pet Owner Bylaw No. 19/025 indicates: An owner may appeal the Bylaw Program Supervisor's decision to declare an animal vicious by submitting a Notice of Appeal to the clerk within 14 days of the Bylaw Program Supervisor having provided written notice that the animal has been declared vicious under section 76.
An appeal may be filed by filing a Notice of Appeal in person, by mail or by email with the applicable filing fee of $100.

Mail or email the appeal using the contact information in the yellow box on this web page.

If the Appellant will be represented by an agent, an Agent Authorization is required to accompany the Notice of Appeal.
