The Village has adopted a Bylaw Enforcement Policy which establishes that the Village relies primarily, but not exclusively, on citizen complaints as a means of enforcing regulatory bylaws. Bylaw complaints must be submitted in writing and include the following information: a description of the nature of the infraction, the date, time and specific location of the infraction, and contact information of the complainant.
You may submit complaints the following ways:
- Customer Service Request Form
- By email to bylaw@pemberton.ca
- In person at 7400 Prospect Street, Pemberton BC V0N 2L0
- By mail to Village of Pemberton, Box 100, Pemberton BC V0N 2L0
Please note that we cannot act on a complaint without the provision of your name, address, phone number and details of your complaint.
Considerations Before Submitting a Bylaw Complaint
Bylaw complaint information is confidential and will not be released, except as required under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act or otherwise as required by law. The Village may require you to act as a witness should a Bylaw complaint case proceed to Court if an infraction cannot otherwise be resolved.
Often complaints can be resolved amicably between neighbours. It is recommended that whenever possible, residents attempt to resolve their issues before contacting the Bylaw Officer for assistance.
