Rules in the bylaw's general sections (parking, fences, suites, home businesses) also apply, and a lot can have site-specific rules. The Town says the consolidation is for convenience only and is not admissible in court under the Evidence Act; certified copies come from the Corporate Administrator. The consolidation lists amendments to 2025 only.
