How it works

The Zoning Bylaw No. 851 (2020, revised June 10, 2026) is consolidated with amendment bylaws 851-01 to 851-06, 851-08, 851-10 and 851-11. For each zone it sets permitted uses, minimum parcel sizes, number of dwellings, setbacks, height and parcel coverage. General rules cover fences, RV occupancy, accessory buildings, home occupations, secondary suites and parking.

Steps

  1. Find the zoning map (Schedule B, June 2026) in the Village's online bylaw library, with the Zoning Bylaw.
  2. Read the zone's section for what is allowed on your lot.
  3. If the map is unclear, call or email the Village Office. The contact page names no separate planner. The Building Inspector is at ext. 108 on Thursdays.

Good to know

  • No address search tool was found on the Village site.
  • The Village's Official Community Plan library page also lists a Schedule B map dated June 2026; do not confuse it with the zoning map.
  • Check the library copy for the latest amendments before relying on it.
