Section 4, which applies the same idea to noise from private property, is garbled in the posted PDF.\n\nThe bylaw also names specific noise. Amplified music or speech, animal noise and machinery noise that unreasonably disturbs others is prohibited between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. on weekdays, and between 11 p.m. and 9 a.m. on weekends. Weekdays means Sunday night to Friday morning; weekends means Friday night to Sunday morning.\n\nNoise from construction, alteration, repair or demolition (including excavation or filling of land) that unreasonably disturbs others is prohibited in the same hours. No daytime limit is set, and the bylaw sets no decibel limit.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Call the Village office at 250-559-4765 (Monday to Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed 12 to 1).\n2. The bylaw's enforcement officer is the Chief Administrative Officer, an RCMP member or another person appointed by Council.\n3. No official page gives an after-hours number for noise complaints. The 24-hour line on the contact page is the Public Works Emergency Line.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Ticket amounts (Schedule A): $50 for a first offence and $100 for each subsequent offence.\n- The rules do not apply to snow removal, special events permitted by Council, animal shelters, commercial fisheries activities, commercial delivery vehicles, BC Ferries operations in Skidegate Landing and some other listed activities.","sources":[{"url":"https://daajinggiids.ca/contact/","title":"Contact, Village of Daajing Giids","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/4243/","title":"Village of Queen Charlotte Noise Regulation Bylaw No. 48, 2011 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 7 of 8 facts was matched to the official text; 1 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/noise-rules/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/noise-rules.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/noise-rules.json"}}
