Short answer

In McBride, the only ticket amounts we found are for parking: $25 if paid within 14 days of the notice and $50 after that. No Municipal Ticket Information or Bylaw Notice bylaw is posted. Other bylaws set court fines, for example up to $2,000 for dog and unsightly property offences.

How it works

For parking, a bylaw enforcement officer or police officer issues a Traffic Infraction Notice under the Traffic and Parking Bylaw 568. For other bylaws, a ticket may be issued under the Community Charter and Local Government Act procedure. The Animal Control Bylaw 693 refers to a "Ticket Information Utilization Bylaw", but none is posted in the Village's bylaw library, so no ticket amounts for those offences were found.

Amounts we found

  • Parking tickets: $25 if paid within 14 calendar days of the date of issue, $50 after that.
  • Fees Bylaw 847, other fees (not called tickets): $150 for a habitually noisy dog and $50 for failing to remove dog waste.
  • Court fines (maximums on conviction): up to $2,000 for animal control offences and for unsightly property (each day a new offence); $2,000 to $10,000 under the Water Bylaw 737; at least $100 under the Burning Bylaw 680.

Good to know

  • If a parking ticket stays unpaid, court proceedings may be started against the registered owner, who can pay the Schedule A amount out of court up to 24 hours before the appearance.
  • How to dispute a ticket is not described in any readable official text. Ask the Village Office at 250-569-2229.
