About this statute

This part defines key terms and gives charter communities broad bylaw-making authority, while setting out the minister’s role in starting incorporation notices. This part sets out how charter communities are created, changed, and governed, including notice, objections, voter approval, council rules, meetings, records, and member duties. This part sets out who council and officers are, what they must do, and what the charter community may do about contracts, property, services, delegation, and economic development. This segment sets rules for municipal bylaws, including voting, readings, filing, public notice, geographic limits, highway powers, public utilities, budgets, spending controls, and petition procedures. The council and officers must manage charter community funds, financial reporting, audits, borrowing, grants, loans, guarantees, and investments only under the Act’s bylaw and approval rules.
