Development permit vs. Building Permit: While the Development Permit ensures that your plans and project meets the intention of the Land Use Bylaw (Zoning), the Building Permit process is to confirm that the plans and construction meet the Building Code.

A Development Permit is required through the Town Office to ensure that development is in accordance to our Land Use Bylaw.

Building Permits are issued through Superior Safety Codes:

Once the payment and the completed form is provided, our Development Officer will issue Notice by mail to surrounding property owners and posted to the Development page of our website for an appeal period of 14 days. If no appeal is made, the Notice of Decision will be approved and a Business License can be obtained.

Snow removal is done by our Public Works Team who do their best to ensure that the roads are passable for all vehicles. If you see snow removal equipment in your vicinity please take precautions to stay at least 10 meters clear as operators may not always see approaching vehicles. Roads are cleared on a priority base which is divided into one of four levels:

Priority One: Emergency Service, Arterial Roadways, 2nd Street/Main Street and 1st Avenue
Priority Two: Majority Residential Feeder Roads, 6th Street and Madison Drive
Priority Three: Residential Roads, Cul-de-sac, Alleys
Priority Four: Municipal owned parking lots & Sidewalks

In our efforts to clear the streets snow is plowed into the gutters. To minimize snow being pushed back onto the sidewalk, residents are asked to shovel the snow from sidewalks and driveways onto your lawns. During heavy snowfall large windrows may occur and may not be removed immediately, it is the residents responsibility to remove any windrows blocking access to your property.

The town will sometimes need the area in front of a residence for temporary snow storage. If your car is there we have no choice but to windrow around it. The best thing that you can do is have your vehicles off the street during any snow events until the town is able to clear the streets. Doing so helps increase the efficiencies and safety for all involved parties.

Along with maintaining snow removal on our streets, our Public Works staff are also responsible for sidewalk clearing in front of the Business sector on 2nd Street (Main Street), bus stops and pathways.

Pathways along residential homes are under the responsibility of the home owner or occupant and must adhere to the 007:2012 – Community Standards Bylaw which states all sidewalks must be cleared of ice and snow within 24 hours of snowfall.
