How do I file a complaint?
Telephone calls will not be accepted unless it is a public health and safety issue!

All information provided will remain confidential up until which time it is required in court.
For noise complaints, please contact the police non-emergency line at 1-888-310-1122.
The complaint will not be investigated if:
- Anonymous or third party
- Incomplete form
- Considered malicious or vexatious.
Civil matters not within our jurisdiction:

- neighbour disputes over property lines, tree cutting or fence locations
If the matter cannot be resolved between you and your neighbour, you may wish to consult legal counsel.
