Board of Variance Bylaw

Under the Local Government Act, if a municipality has a zoning bylaw it must also have a Board of Variance. This Board of Variance bylaw establishes the five-member Board and sets out the procedures for the submission of an appeal to the Board and for the conduct of its meetings. A person may apply to the BOV for a variance if they feel compliance with the bylaw would cause them hardship.

Council Procedure Bylaw

This bylaw outlines the regulations for operating city council and sets the scheduling of meetings and public hearings; outlines the designation of a member of Council to act in the place of the Mayor; the procedures for the public to follow at Council meetings; and the rules of procedure (agenda preparation, quorum, voting, points of order, conduct and debate, motions, etc.). As well, the bylaw sets out the regulations of minutes, bylaws, resolutions, and council committees.
