From the meeting
At its September 22, 2026 meeting, Council gave first, second, and third readings to the solid waste bylaw amendments and approved a 5% increase to solid waste fees and charges effective January 1, 2027. The change was tied to a new 5% on-time payment discount. This is a pricing and billing update, with the next commercial conversation likely around billing system and rate administration changes.
