Notice of Public Meeting: Business Licensing By-law

A new by-law is being proposed to replace the current Business Licensing By-law.

The proposed By-law will:

Update existing licensing requirements for regulated businesses such as tow trucks, refreshment vehicles and adult entertainment businesses;
Introduce new licensing provisions for businesses that are currently unregulated by the Town such as kennels, pet shops (those which offer cats and dogs for sale), impound lots and private transportation companies such as Uber and Lyft (excluding drivers);
Update enforcement powers of by-law officers and OPP to better protect consumers; and
Improve administration processes to prevent backlog of applications by introducing two-year licensing terms and birthday expiry for certain types of licenses, and allowing applicants to submit applications online.

Public Meeting

Attend our public meeting on March 30, 2022 at 6 p.m. to learn more about this by-law.
