Survey Results
The results from the survey have been published on the upcoming Council Meeting agenda (September 27, 2024 at 9 am).
Review the Draft Bylaw
You can review the draft bylaw online:
The draft bylaw contains a definition of “Noise” that is as follows:
“Noise” means a sound or vibration that at the point of reception, by its volume or nature, is likely to disturb the inhabitants.
This definition is supported by extensive case law. While it may seem counter intuitive, the courts have determined that the definition is objective as a reasonable person can discern if a sound is likely to disturb not just an individual, but the inhabitants.
