ByLaws & Policies
By-laws are, generally speaking, a set of rules and guidelines that residents must follow. Passed by council, by-laws are used to regulate, prohibit, or impose certain specific requirements. They are what enable a municipality like ours to operate safely, efficiently, and dependably.
A policy is defined as corporate direction that is formally adopted by Council resolution. Enacting policies provides a framework for decision making ensuring consistency throughout the municipality. The supporting legislation for such policy development is the Municipal Act. It specifically provides Council the authority to develop and evaluate the policies and programs of a municipality. The policies listed are a comprehensive list of Council approved policies currently in place.
