The City is rolling 17 existing by-laws into one Mega By-Law. It will take effect next November.The Neighbourhood Liveability By-law will replace existing by-laws covering everything from smoking to pigeons and refrigerators and freezers. A city report claims the stream-lined approach to enforcing the rules will be more user-friendly. The report also calls for 375-thousand dollars in start up costs for a new city unit to enforce the Mega By-Law. The unit will include specialists and possibly public health inspectors.
The report claims the new set-up will provide more accountability for a more timely and effective reporting process.
