Bylaw Enforcement

Bylaw Enforcement in the Town of Milestone focuses on investigating and responding to reports of bylaw violations. If you have any questions, please refer to the Bylaws posted on the Town’s website or contact the Municipal Office at (306) 436-2130.

Making a Complaint

To file a bylaw complaint, submit your complaint in writing to the Town of Milestone. The Town-appointed Bylaw Enforcement Officer will follow up on your complaint. When submitting a complaint, please include the following details:

• Address/location of the complaint
• Date/times when the violation occurred
• A detailed description of the violation (including the make, model, colour, and license plate of any involved vehicle)
• Your name, address, and phone number

Complaints can be submitted in writing to:

Town of Milestone Box 74 Milestone, SK S0G 3L0

Or via email to:

mi**@sa*****.net

Complaint Process

Upon receiving a complaint, an investigation will be conducted to determine if a violation exists and who is responsible. If a violation is found, the responsible person(s) will be contacted and asked to voluntarily comply with the bylaw. Voluntary compliance is the most common outcome.

If voluntary compliance is not achieved, an Order to Remedy letter may be issued, giving a specific number of days to address the situation. This process allows for an appeal within a specified period. If an appeal is made, the Council may decide to confirm, modify, or repeal the order. If there is no appeal, the responsible person(s) will have a set time to remedy the situation. The Town will follow up to ensure compliance, and if the situation is resolved, the file will be closed.

If the violation persists, the Town may initiate legal action, including prosecution or property cleanup, with cost recovery methods also initiated.

Not all matters are regulated by bylaws; some may be governed by Provincial or Federal acts and enforced by other authorities or civil matters not regulated by bylaws.
