About this statute

This provision defines key terms for hamlets and says the Minister may begin hamlet incorporation by public notice and an order, after considering objections. This provision sets how a hamlet council operates, including meetings, records, appointments, delegation limits, and several ministerial powers over hamlet names, status, and boundaries. This provision gives hamlet officials and council a range of administrative, property, service, and bylaw powers, and sets several limits on disposal of property and appointments. This provision sets procedures for bylaws, public notice, highway and public utility bylaws, and hamlet financial administration. A hamlet’s borrowing and debt activities are tightly restricted: they must follow the Act, stay within regulatory limits, and some long-term borrowing needs bylaw and approval steps.
