Notice of Public Hearing - Land Use Bylaw

The Summer Village of Kapasiwin Council hereby gives notice of its intention to consider proposed Bylaw No. 280-2024, the Summer Village of Kapasiwin Land Use Bylaw, as amended.

The purpose of the Bylaw is to repeal and replace the Summer Village’s existing Land Use Bylaw (Bylaw No. 242), as amended. The Land Use Bylaw is the primary regulatory document for the development of lands within the Summer Village; the adoption of a Land Use Bylaw is a requirement of all municipalities in the Municipal Government Act.

MANY CHANGES have been made to the proposed Land Use Bylaw which may affect some individuals. These changes to the Land Use Bylaw can be viewed in the document attached.

The Municipal Government Act requires that a public hearing on a proposed bylaw must be held before the second reading of the bylaw.
First reading of proposed Bylaw No. 280-2024 is scheduled to occur prior to the public hearing on Saturday, July 20, 2024, 11:00 AM @ Kapasiwin Comkunity Hall.

Anyone wishing to make a verbal and/or written presentation may do so at the public hearing. All persons wishing to make a presentation at the hearing will be provided the opportunity. It would be beneficial for individuals to provide advance notice to Brad MacDonald (contact information provided below) of their intention to make a presentation at the hearing before Wednesday, July 17, 2024, at 4:00 PM.

To obtain more information regarding the proposed Land Use Bylaw, please contact:

Free FireSmart Home Assessments

Parkland County is now offering free FireSmart Home Assessments to residents of Parkland County, including the Summer Village of Kapasiwin, and other Summer Villages.

County residents can get a free FireSmart Home Assessment to learn how to protect their homes from wildfires. Each assessment takes about 30-45 minutes, and it's important that you're there too. 

Our FireSmart experts will:

1.     Tour the outside of your house and yard for things that increase your risk during a wildfire.

2.     Provide a customized report based on what they see with actions on how to reduce the risk of damage by wildfire.

3.     Share helpful tips to make your home less susceptible to wildfires.

If you've completed the suggested safety improvements in the report, you can ask for another assessment later if you wish.
