Bylaw Enforcement

The goal of Bylaw Enforcement is to gain voluntary compliance with City regulatory bylaw requirements using the following means: inform, educate and as a last resort, enforce. Enforcement of Bylaws frequently follows receipt of complaints, however, the City is becoming more pro-active on health and safety issues as well as the enforcement of City bylaws on the promenade, pier and beach areas.

Bylaw enforcement complaints relating to the quality of life, such as noise and nuisance complaints, should be initiated in writing by the complainant, and include the follow information: 

  • Name of complainant
  • Address and telephone of Complainant
  • Address of complaint
  • Detailed description of complaint (including description and license number of vehicle if vehicle involved)

Anonymity of the complainant will be maintained at all times, except when necessary to give court evidence.
