Animal and Bylaw Services Begins Enforcement Action
November 15, 2011 02:46 PM Category: Bylaws, City Services
Yesterday at 09:00, The City of Calgary Animal and Bylaw Services issued a 24-hour warning to Occupy Calgary protesters camped in Olympic Plaza. This warning demanded compliance with the Parks and Pathways bylaws by removing tents and materials.
Protesters have been camped in Olympic Plaza for approximately a month. Animal and Bylaw Services has worked closely with the Calgary Police Service, other City departments and business units monitoring the Occupy situation and issuing tickets for some bylaw infractions.
Today 42 notices were served, instructing campers to remove their tents and materials within 24 hours. These notices were served under the Parks and Pathways Bylaw Section 9.
Animal and Bylaw Services will return to assess whether or not the Occupy campers have complied and removed their tents and materials. The consequence of non-compliance will be an issued ticket. The ticket will not be for a set amount or fine; rather, infractions will incur a court appearance, at which a judge will determine a penalty.
This action is being taken as part of the enforcement policy to ensure that parks are safe and accessible to all Calgarians.
