Reporting a Concern

Bylaw Enforcement Officers cannot be everywhere all the time and do not always see contraventions as they occur.  The public is welcome to submit concerns.

You can file a bylaw report in the following ways:

  • Online: Submitting a Service Request 
  • In Writing: Emailing [email protected] OR visiting us at the Town Office to complete a written report during regular office hours

What do I Need to File a Report?

When filing a report, please be prepared to provide as much detail as possible about the concern:

  • Address of property involved;
  • Date and time when the violation was first observed, and any subsequent violations;
  • A detailed description of the violation;
  • Pictures if applicable;
  • As well as your name, phone number and/or email.

Once a report is received, staff will acknowledge your concern. Reports or concerns submitted are reviewed during regular office hours and will be investigated. Your identity is kept confidential under the The Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (LA FOIP). You may be contacted by the Town Office or Bylaw Enforcement Officer if further information or verification is required. Information relating to the investigation and any subsequent ticketing is a confidential process.

Depending on the type of bylaw infraction, the Lumsden RCMP may be able to help you after hours and on the weekend as they also have the authority to enforce our Town bylaws. Lumsden RCMP can be contacted in situations such as late-night noise from parties, fireworks, traffic violations, etc. at (306) 310-RCMP (7267). 

If the matter requires immediate assistance and is an emergency dial 9-1-1.
