The Council of the Village of Pemberton intends to consider an amendment Business Licence Bylaw No. 855, 2019 at the regular council meeting to be held at 5:30pm on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. The amendment proposes the following changes to the bylaw:

- To clarify the requirements for renewal of a business licence, including the addition of the requirement for a short-term rental operator to demonstrate that their accommodation has been rented on a short-term basis for at least 12 nights in the past year.
