Three B.C. municipalities added to Schedule 1 of the Bylaw Notice Enforcement Regulation

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

The Bylaw Notice Enforcement Regulation has been amended to add the District of 100 Mile House, the District of North Saanich, and the Village of Fraser Lake to Schedule 1. Being listed in Schedule 1 means these local governments are now entitled to use the bylaw notice enforcement framework under the Local Government Bylaw Notice Enforcement Act. Residents, property owners, and businesses operating in these three municipalities may now be subject to bylaw notices and the associated dispute adjudication process rather than exclusively court-based enforcement. Anyone who receives a bylaw notice in these communities should be aware that the notice-based process — including the right to request a review — now applies.

Who this affects: residents and property owners in 100 Mile House, North Saanich, and Fraser Lake · businesses operating in the three named municipalities · local bylaw enforcement officers in those municipalities
