The Government of British Columbia has introduced amendments to the University Endowment Land Act to improve the enforcement of bylaws on the land bordering the University of British Columbia. The change was prompted by residents living on the land, who requested that enforcement be modernized to improve compliance. If passed, the amendments will allow University Endowment Land bylaws to be enforced similarly to municipal ticketing, and allow enforcement officers to prosecute tickets in provincial court. Currently, minor bylaw violations are subject to different procedures than traditional municipal violations, which BC says are “time consuming and expensive.”
