“While our current bylaws, established in 2012, have served us well, continuous review and feedback have highlighted areas needing improvement for better consistency and modernization,” the city said in a Facebook post on May 8th.

Attendees of the open houses will be able to share their opinions and feedback on the changes with city staff.

The proposals will be presented to the city council on June 10th for review, and first and second readings of the bylaws are expected to be scheduled for later in the summer.
