The 2019 Development Charges Background Study relates to the provision of Town-wide eligible DC Services (i.e., Library, Fire Protection, Outdoor Recreation, Indoor Recreation and Parking, Development-Related Studies, and Roads and Related Services).
Council is required under The Development Charges Act, 1997, to hold at least one public meeting to allow the public the opportunity to review and provide comments on the 2019 Development Charges Background Study, related staff reports and the proposed development charges by-law.
