A By-law Enforcement Officer cannot stop people from contravening by-laws; An Officer can only enforce the by-laws. Compliance with by-laws may be achieved in the following manner:
- Giving verbal or written warnings and providing copies of the appropriate by-laws;
- Issuing a Part I or Part II ticket in accordance with the Provincial Offences Act (short form wording and set fines);
- Summonsing a defendant to court, usually initiated for a second, third or more serious offence where a larger fine or a Court Order is appropriate.
By-laws are established as a means of dealing with local problems and addressing the interests and concerns of the community. They are implemented to safeguard the environment, promote public health and safety, and preserve an organized and aesthetically pleasing community.
