What is a good neighbour? What makes neighbourhoods safe and pleasant?
Those are the questions we can ask ourselves when thinking about a Community Standards Bylaw.
A Community Standards Bylaw is a clear and concise set of expectations for visitors, residents, and property owners in the region.
Community standards refers to a wide range of issues from littering to vehicle idling. A brief snapshot of the sections covered under this bylaw are outlined in the chart below (note: this is not a complete overview of the Community Standards Bylaw. For the full draft, check out the Documents tab on the right).
