Bylaw Division:
In January during the snowfall Bylaw received many complaints and inquiries regarding keeping one’s sidewalk clear, as a result, we educated residents on the expectations under the bylaw.
January also brought the conclusion of a file that started in 2018 regarding a boat and dock in the Portage Inlet. The dock has been removed from the inlet and has been dismantled and disposed of. Bylaw also assisted by providing recommendations to the facilitators for the removal of the remaining vessel currently submerged in Saanich’s jurisdiction. Recent feedback received indicates the submerged vessel is earmarked for removal soon.
