Full RecordingShort-Term Rental Regulations - Councillor Brown
Council rejected a motion to align Town rules with the provincial short-term rental framework.
"Councillor Brown argued alignment would help homeowners pay mortgages and align with neighboring cities. Mayor Tobias and others argued that the Town must protect its limited supply of affordable long-term rentals and that short-term rentals could negatively impact community character and housing availability."
Formal MotionFailed
