- Bylaw Exemption - Places of Worship - 2021-145(1).pdf
Council is asked to amend the city's Parkland Dedication By-law so that places of worship, cemeteries and burial sites that are exempt from property tax are also exempt from having to hand over land or cash for parks when they build or expand. Staff note these uses are already exempt under the development charges by-law, and the change would make the two sets of rules consistent.
