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 brought by a decision under the Community Standards Bylaw No. 21/010, and under section 545 or 546 of the Municipal Government Act and other related proceedings.
  • Hear and adjudicate appeals brought by a Hen Licensing Decision, Animal Licensing Decision or Declaration of Vicious Animal.

  • Backyard Hen Bylaw No. 21/006
  • Responsible Pet Ownership 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.

What is required to file an appeal?

All applications, including a Notice of Appeal, must be in the form prescribed by the Clerk and must contain:
  • The applicant’s full name, address for service, and phone number.
  •  A copy of the order or decision that is the subject of the application.
  • The reasons for the application.
  • A fee of $100.00 for each application.
  • Where the application is to appeal a Hen Licensing decision or an MGA Order:
    • the municipal address of the property to which the application relates.
  • Where the application is to appeal an Animal Licensing decision, Nuisance Animal declaration or Vicious Animal declaration:
    • the identity of the animal that is the subject of the decision; and
    • the municipal address of the property where the animal resides.

What can be appealed

  • A decision of a designated officer for a Hen Licensing Decision, Animal Licensing Decision, or the declaration of a vicious animal.
  • An order issued by a designated officer under the Community Standards Bylaw No. 21/010 and 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.

How to file an appeal

  • A Notice of Appeal means a written request, in a form (Notice of Appeal), seeking a review of an Order granted pursuant to the Community Standards Bylaw No. 21/010, an order granted pursuant to s. 545 or 546 of the Municipal Government Act, an appeal of a Hen Licensing Decision, a review of a Declaration of Vicious Animal, or a review of an Animal Licensing Decision.

Agent representation

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