The Village of Lions Bay runs its own administration, bylaw enforcement, building inspection, planning, roads and water (it does not take water or sewer services from Metro), parks, Lions Bay Fire Rescue, and garbage, recycling and organics collection through contractors. It sells its own dog licences. Metro Vancouver regulates air quality (including wood-burning appliances) and solid waste at the regional level. Policing is by the Squamish RCMP detachment. Many things people think of as village matters, like marriage licences, health cards and driver's licences, are provincial.
