MUNICIPAL BY-LAWS

SNOW REMOVAL RULES

When you remove snow from your driveway, you must place it on your property. The following are violations of the City by-law: • Piling snow in a way that obstructs drivers’ visibility, whether on public or private property • Throwing snow within 1.5 m of a fire hydrant • Throwing snow onto public property or the public right-of-way

STREET PARKING

The City’s website and Snow Info line (514-630-1205) will provide information every day after 5 p.m. as to whether or not street parking is permitted.

The City is again authorizing on-street parking this winter between midnight and 7 a.m. when there are no snow removal operations in progress. Overnight parking is only permitted in areas where it is already possible to park from November 15 to April 15.

DOGS

For public safety reasons, the municipal by-law on dogs has been tightened to reflect the new provincial regulations. From now on: • All dog owners must register their pet on the Emili.net platform within 30 days of its acquisition or before the dog reaches the age of 3 months. The owner will be mailed a tag, which the dog must wear for its entire life. Registration fees must be paid every year thereafter. • Unless they are in a private fenced area or in an exercise area reserved for dogs, dogs must be kept on a leash of less than 1.8 m (6 ft.) at all times. • Masters are required to pick up their animal’s excrement and dispose of it in a trash can. • A potentially dangerous dog is subject to strict rules, in particular the use of physical control devices, when in public and around a child under 10 years of age. • Penalties ranging from $200 to $20,000 are provided for depending on the seriousness of the violations and for each violation.
