Community Concerns

🏡 Neighbour-to-Neighbour Issues

These are personal matters that should first be addressed through respectful conversation:

  • Noise between set quiet hours (e.g. music, parties)
  • Fence disagreements (placement, maintenance, etc.)
  • Tree branches overhanging property lines
  • Parking in front of homes (unless violating specific bylaws)
  • Pets on private property (unless aggressive or creating a repeated nuisance)

Tip: Most of these can be resolved with a friendly conversation before involving the Town.
