A Bylaw to prohibit certain activities creating noise and to abate the incidence of noise in the Rural Municipality of Canwood No. 494
The Council of the Rural Municipality of Canwood No. 494 enacts as follows:
1. This Bylaw may be cited as "The Noise Bylaw."
2.(1)Except to the extent it is allowed by this Bylaw, no person shall make, or continue to make, or cause to be made, or allow to be made, or allow to be continued to be made, any loud noise or any unnecessary noise, or any unusual noise.
(2) Except to the extent it is allowed by this Bylaw, no person shall make, or continue to make, or cause to be made, or cause to be continued, or allow to be made, or allow to be continued, any noise whatsoever which either annoys, disturbs, injures, endangers or detracts from the comfort, repose, health, peace or safety of other persons within the limits of the municipality.
(3) What is a loud noise, an unnecessary noise, an unusual noise, or a noise which annoys, disturbs, injures or endangers the comfort, repose, health, peace or safety of other persons is a question of fact for a court which hears a prosecution of an offence against this Bylaw.
Domestic Noises
3.No person who owns, keeps, houses, harbours or allows a dog to stay in his premises shall allow such dog to bark excessively or to howl excessively.
4.(1) No person being the owner or occupant of any premises shall operate, or permit to be operated, or suffer to be operated, or allow to be operated, play, or allow to be played, any radio, phonograph, record player, tape recorder, television set, musical instrument, or any other apparatus, appliance, device or machine used for the production or amplification of sound, either in or on private premises in a residential district in such a manner that the same can be easily heard by an individual or member of the public who is not on the same premises from which such noise or sound emanates.
(2) For the purpose of this Bylaw, "premises" shall mean the area contained within the boundaries of any lot and includes any building situated within such boundaries.
