The Corporation of the City of Pickering
By-law No. 8014/23
Being a by-law to amend By-law 6834/08, as
amended, providing for the regulation of noise in the
City of Pickering.
Whereas By-law 6834/08, as amended prohibits and regulates noise within the City of
Pickering; and
Whereas, it is deemed necessary to amend By-law 6834/08, as amended to provide for
increased fines to more effectively deter violations;
Now therefore the Council of The Corporation of the City of Pickering hereby enacts as follows:
1)The addition of a new clause in the preamble that states:
Whereas the Municipal Act, 2001 provides the ability for a municipality to impose fines
in excess of $5,000.00 under the Provincial Offences Act R.S.O. 1990, allows fines for
continuing offences and also allows for special fines that may exceed $100,000.00.
2)Section 14 shall be repealed and replaced with the following:
Every person who contravenes any provision of this by-law is guilty of an offence and
upon conviction is liable to:
(a)A fine of not more than $100,000.00.
(b)In the case of a continuing offence, a minimum fine for each day or part thereof
shall be a minimum of $500.00 and a maximum of $10,000.00. Daily fines for a
continuing offence shall not be limited to $100,000.00
(c)In addition to any other fines under this section, a special fine may be imposed if
the commission of an offence results in economic gain or advantage. The
maximum amount of a special fine may exceed $100,000.00.
