Local Government - Municipal Services - By-Law Enforcement

The Town of Winnipeg Beach is governed by different levels of legislation such as federal, provincial and municipal. Municipal by-laws are created under a legal process in order to regulate activities in specific jurisdictions.

It is a common misconception that a by-law enforcement officer has jurisdiction under all municipal activities. This is not the case. For example The Town of Winnipeg Beach currently contracts an animal control officer who enforces the rules as established under By-Law 1-2003 (See Animal Control), and they do not have the responsibility of enforcing other municipal by-laws.

The Town also contracts a By-Law Enforcement Officer. This officer will react to complaints on matters such as (For example):
  • Open fires
  • Unsightly properties
  • Unlicensed Businesses
  • Skateboarding
  • Parking on municipal streets

Once a complaint is received, staff forward the issue to the By-Law Enforcement Officer who will respond and report back to the Municipal Office.

For issues such as loud parties, intoxicated persons, dangerous driving etc... please contact the Gimli RCMP @ 642-5106.
