Resident's Guide

This reference guide was created to help new and existing residents learn more about the municipality, services, programs and events happening around Town. It provides up-to-date information in alphabetical order on many essential Town services such as waste and recycling, snow removal, by-laws, building permits and it introduces new programs such as the Residential Express Permit Program (REPP), which provides a quicker building permit review for smaller residential home improvement projects.
