By-law: Maintaining of Land in a Clean and Clear Condition Council recently passed
By-law 6983, Maintaining of Land in a Clean and Clear Condition. The
By-law contains reference to current authority under
the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001 as amended and provides authority
for the Town to enter on to property to take remedial action to gain
compliance if an owner is unwilling or uncooperative and is found to
be in default. The Town’s enforcement philosophy will continue
to emphasize education and compliance, however when compliance is
not forthcoming, this By-law is intended to provide the municipality
with the necessary tools to address the concerns of residents and neighbours who have been subjected to unacceptable property
standards which may also affect the entire community.
