Find a Bylaw
The BC Local Government Act grants Council the power to pass bylaws. Bylaws are created to address the local community's issues and concerns and are used to protect the environment, public health, public safety, or to maintain an orderly appearance in the community and city.
Each bylaw has a number. An individual bylaw may be a "parent" bylaw or it may be an amending bylaw. If a bylaw has a consolidated version, the original bylaw (or "parent" bylaw) is updated to include all of the amendments to that bylaw and a link will be found in the "Consolidated" column. The City also maintains a list of frequently referenced bylaws.
