Draft and Implement "Bullet-proof" By-laws
In Canada, municipalities across the country are growing and the landscape is changing everyday. Likewise, by-law drafting practices and implementation protocols are no longer the same in municipalities. In particular, sweeping changes were brought about by Ontario Bill 130 in 2007 that confers broad authority on municipalities to pass by-laws.
Authors M. Virginia MacLean, Q.C. and John R. Tomlinson draw on their many years of experience with municipal governments. Ms. MacLean is a Certified Specialist in municipal law-local government/land use planning and development law. Mr. Tomlinson recently participated in drafting the amendments to many Ontario statutes that were necessary as a result of the enactment of the Ontario Municipal Act, 2001.
