The Province has extended the deadline for local governments to provide input regarding adjudicator remuneration and the maximum penalty amount for the Local Government Bylaw Adjudication Program. Local governments that have not already completed the Province’s survey are asked to provide a response by July 22, 2022.
Over the past four months, the Province has held several meetings with local governments that are enrolled in the Bylaw Adjudication Program. Adjudicator remuneration and the maximum penalty amount have been a focus of discussions, resulting in the development of a survey to obtain broader local government input.
The UBCM membership has previously endorsed a resolution that sought for the Province to increase the bylaw adjudication maximum fine amount from $500 to $1,000.
Any questions regarding the survey or the Local Government Bylaw Adjudication Program may be directed to LocalGovernmentBylawAdjudication@gov.bc.ca.
