Council of the Municipality of the County of Inverness Repeals Outdated Bylaws in Modernization Process

At the Committee of the Whole meeting held on Thursday, July 17, 2025, the Council of the Municipality of the County of Inverness agreed to repeal two outdated municipal bylaws.

The repealed bylaws are:

1. Bylaw 8 – Mischief & Nuisances: This bylaw has been removed and not replaced. Relevant sections of this bylaw are covered under the current Bylaw 41 – Noise Control or other provincial or federal statutes and was deemed repetitive.
2. Bylaw 11 – Curfew: Under this bylaw, children under the age of 16 were prohibited from public spaces, with certain exceptions, between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. This bylaw was outdated and therefore Council decided to repeal and not replace.

The decision to repeal these bylaws was made as part of an ongoing Bylaw modernization process.

All municipal bylaws are available online. Print copies are available at the Municipal Administration Building (375 Main St., Port Hood) during regular business hours (8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Monday – Friday).

This notice is published in accordance with the Municipal Government Act, Section 169.
