Bylaw Amendments
1. Marketing Levy Bylaw
Council approved a recommendation to repeal the Marketing and Promotions Levy Bylaw of January 1, 2007, and replace it with the “Marketing Levy Bylaw”. The new bylaw will be better aligned with marketing levy bylaws used in the rest of the province. It will allow for the levy to be collected equally from visitors across all types of accommodations.
2. Fire Department Bylaw Amendments
Council approved amendments to the bylaw, in particular a key change to lower the age requirement for volunteer firefighters from 19 to 17. This will allow the department to engage a younger audience that is interested in serving their community, and learning what is involved in becoming a volunteer.
The amendments for both of the above-mentioned bylaws become effective on the date of this publication. Dated February 21st, 2024.
