Bylaws enacted by the District of Squamish reflect community values and are in place to maintain a safe and livable community.
The District promotes an enforcement philosophy that seeks voluntary bylaw compliance, which is often achieved through education, information and non-penalty enforcement including providing a reasonable time-frame to comply. However, compliance or enforcement based on education and warnings is not appropriate in all circumstances. More direct enforcement approaches, including immediate ticketing may occur. View the Bylaw Enforcement Complaint Policy for full details.
Our dedicated staff and officers work with District departments and community partners such as police, social agencies, community groups and other levels of government to promote and maintain Squamish as a safe community to live in and visit.
