Swimming Pools

Every swimming pool, as defined by the Swimming Pool Fence By-law, must be completely enclosed by a gated fence. A Swimming Pool Fence Permit is required prior to the installation of a pool. Please refer to the by-law and the Swimming Pool Fence Permit Guide to ensure that submitted Pool Fence Permit Applications are compliant.

Fence By-law

Fences on private properties do not require a permit but must comply with the Fence By-law regarding height, materials, etc.

Weed Control

Regulations regarding long grass and noxious weeds on residential properties within specific areas of the Town are outlined in the Long Grass and Noxious Weeds By-law.
