COMPLAINT PROCESS

Bylaw Enforcement responds to complaints. It is our mandate to try and achieve voluntary compliance, however, where this does not happen, the appropriate enforcement action is taken. When there are complaints and disputes between neighbouring residents it is important to remember that resolution is best handled through open communication between the parties involved.  Please contact the Bylaw Enforcement Officer at (250) 242-3939 or by email to register your complaint.
