Community Standards Peace Officers, Municipal Enforcement Officers, and Animal Care & Control Officers protect the health, safety and welfare of citizens by promoting compliance with our community standards and animal control bylaws.
Four main groups of enforcement officers are organized into 3 focus areas:
Municipal Enforcement Officers generally investigate complaints from citizens relating to the Community Standards Bylaw or other non-urgent bylaw violations on private property.
Community Standards Peace Officers respond to on-the-spot bylaw concerns and deal with public property issues.
Animal Control Peace Officers respond to animal-related complaints and enforce the Animal Licensing and Control Bylaw (See Bylaws - A) and the Animal Protection Act.
Note: A renewed Animal Licensing and Control Bylaw was approved by Council on August 19 and changes will go into effect on May 19, 2026.
Parking Enforcement Officers respond to parking violations and concerns.
If you are found to have violated a bylaw:
Bylaw officers will not necessarily issue a warning in all bylaw situations.
If you make a complaint, your personal information may be collected under the authority of Section 33(c) of the provincial government's
Alberta Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, Section 642 of the Municipal Government Act or Section 59 of the Safety Codes Act.
The information will be used to process your complaint, but your name and address will not be made available to the public. If you have any questions about the collection and use of your information, please contact the Corporate Access and Privacy Office at 780-496-5222.
