MD Hopes to Deter Messy Campers with Higher Fines
The Municipal District (MD) of Bonnyville is hoping to deter campers from leaving camping stalls littered and messy. Last week MD Council a new, updated, Parks Bylaw that reflects current issues and existing practices. It replaces a bylaw passed in 1985.
The format was updated and fine amounts were increased to provide a deterrent against violations. The person who rents the campground stall is now responsible for everything that happens in that stall.
Penalties are now in place for such violations as:
- Open Liquor in a Public Place – $200 fine
- Interfere with the quiet/enjoyment of a park – $400 fine
- Return to M.D. Park after eviction – $500 fine
The MD of Bonnyville is taking reservations at all their camping site, to book visit the MD online at md.bonnyville.ab.ca.
