North Grenville Introduces Streamlined By-Law System Starting January 2, 2025

North Grenville, ON - The Municipality of North Grenville is announcing the upcoming launch of the Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS), effective January 2, 2025. This new program offers a more efficient, time-saving alternative to the protracted provincial court system for handling by-law disputes, including but not limited to parking violations, property standards, animal control, and smoking restrictions in order to ensure a smoother experience for residents and businesses.

 “The AMPS program represents an important step forward in how we handle by-law enforcement,” said Mayor Nancy Peckford. “By managing bylaw enforcement directly at the municipal level, we can resolve them much faster while maintaining fairness and transparency for all involved.”

Approved in November 2024, the AMPS program reflects North Grenville’s commitment to improving service delivery, with most disputes resolved within 45 days.

How AMPS Works:

The AMPS system allows the municipality to better manage timelines for resolving by-law disputes, ensuring a more streamlined process than the backlogged provincial court system. Policies are in place to maintain fairness and uphold the principles of natural justice, ensuring all decisions are impartial and transparent.

Overnight Parking Restrictions:

As part of North Grenville’s commitment to community convenience, overnight parking will only be restricted during weather events to ensure public safety and road maintenance. Residents are encouraged to register for weather event notifications through the Municipality’s website to stay informed.
