By-Laws and Enforcement

By-law Enforcement

The Township of Georgian Bay has by-laws in place to protect the natural environment, increase public safety, and maintain an orderly appearance throughout the municipality.

By-laws are created and established under the Municipal Act, and delegate powers to a Municipality to regulate certain matters that may have an affect on the public.

A Municipal Law Enforcement Officers role is to provide the Municipality with education on by-laws, investigate complaints, and enforce by-laws within the Township. Officers rely on information provided by a complainant to carry out their duties.

To report an emergency, please call 9-1-1.

For complaints related to public nuisance, property damage, vandalism, drugs or alcohol, traffic, and criminal activities, please call the Ontario Provincial Police nonemergency line (O.P.P.) at 1-888-310-1122.
