Complaint Process
Upon receiving a complaint, an investigation will 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 of bylaw violations. The RM strives to achieve voluntary compliance with each complaint; however, appropriate enforcement will be taken where additional action is required.
If voluntary compliance is not achieved, an Order to Remedy letter may be issued, giving a specific number of days to remedy the situation. This process allows the responsible person(s) to appeal the order within a specified period. If an appeal is made, Council may decide to confirm, modify, or repeal the order. If there is no appeal, the responsible person(s) will be given a specific number of days to remedy the situation, and the Town will follow up to ensure compliance. Once the situation is resolved, the file will be closed.
If the situation remains unresolved, the RM may initiate legal action, including prosecution or property cleanup, with cost recovery methods also initiated.
Regulations
Not all matters are regulated by bylaws; some may be governed by Provincial or Federal acts and enforced by other authorities, or in civil matters, not regulated at all.
