News release

The Town of Milton is launching an awareness campaign to help residents learn more about common by-law concerns like property standards, noise, litter and parking.

The Be a Good Neighbour campaign will share friendly, seasonal tips so that residents understand by-laws before a misunderstanding leads to reporting or enforcement.

This spring, for example, the campaign will focus on seasonal by-law issues such as:

• Long Grass and Weeds
• Pet Waste
• Driveway Extensions
• On-street Parking
• Calling the Town before you build or renovate

Milton residents will see reminders about how to Be a Good Neighbour across the Town web pages, social media and digital signs.

The campaign will introduce a friendly ‘door-hanger’ that by-law staff will use to warn a resident who may not understand the Town’s by-laws. These have been translated to address language as a potential barrier.

See the tips, as well as the translated door-hanger.
