Proposed changes to the Sign By-law

This project has three main workstreams, one of which is to review and update the Town's policies and by-laws. Our approach to tthese reviews is to make sure the by-laws reflect our community's current, reasonable practices, make them easier to interpret, and include some "good by-law practices" where necessary.

The first by-law we tackled is the Sign By-law, which regulates the use of permanent and temporary signs and advertising. The team compared current sign practices to the existing by-law, compared examples of similar by-laws from different municipalities, and identified several areas where the by-law can be improved. A draft version of an updated by-law was presented to Council on May 22nd, where Council who several changes were identified. Council gave some excellent feedback, and Council gave some feedback, and asked us to

The next stage of this work is to get public feedback on the proposed changes. A marked-up version of the by-law can be found at this link, and are summarised in this Report to Council. Let us what you think by clicking on the button below and leaving your comments.
