Zoning establishes the permitted use of land, buildings, and structures within the Municipality. Zoning guides the growth of the community in a systematic and orderly way, ensuring that use of land and structures develop in proper relationship to one another. Council adopted the most recent bylaw, Zoning Bylaw No. 4500, on August 8th, 2011
