Creating a Bylaw
(Mandatory Enforcement)
Public Acceptance
Find out what sort of buy-in/acceptance you might receive
from the community about the mandatory approach to reducing
smoke emissions. You can gather this information by
having public meetings, using surveys, hosting focus
groups and watching the editorials in the paper. This
information will help you gauge the receptiveness or
hostility about the proposed bylaw. If there is a lot
of hostility, you may need to go back and do more public
education.
For examples of existing BC community bylaws, refer
to the Case Studies.
| The portion of total emissions
contributed by the burning of residential fuel wood
varies from one community to another. In The Lower
Fraser Valley, for example, residential fuel wood
combustion contributes about 8% of the total PM2.5
emissions. In the remote town of Golden, that number
jumps to 40% |
