The Regional Municipality of Peel
By-law number 48-2014

A by-law to designate By-law Enforcement Officers and to repeal By-laws 49-2001 and 9-2003, and to amend By-law 53-2010.

Whereas the definition of a provincial offences officer was amended in s. 1(1) of the Provincial Offences Act, R.S.O. 1990, CHAPTER P. 33 (the "Act"), in 2009 as part of the Good Government Act, 2009, S.O. 2009, c. 33 effective Dec 15, 2009 to define by-law enforcement officers to include employees of any municipality whose responsibilities include enforcement of a by-law, an Act or a regulation under an Act, while in the discharge of his or her duties;

And whereas subsection 1(1) of the Act provides that a provincial offences officer also means a police officer or a person designated under subsection 1(3) of the Act;

And whereas subsection 1(3) of the Act provides that a Minister of the Crown may designate in writing any person or class of persons as a provincial offences officer for the purposes of all or any class of offences;

And whereas by communication dated July 30, 1984 the Solicitor General designated municipal by-law enforcement officers as provincial offences officers;

Now therefore, the Council of the Regional Corporation enacts as follows:

1. That
   1. any person employed by The Regional Municipality of Peel whose responsibilities include the enforcement of a by-law, an Act or a regulation under an Act, while in the discharge of his or her duties, or
   2. any person or class of persons designated by a minister of the Crown as a provincial offences officer for the purposes of all or any class of offences;
   3. is hereby designated a by-law enforcement officer; and,
2. That the designation of a person as a by-law enforcement officer shall cease immediately upon such person ceasing to be an employee of The Regional Municipality of Peel.
3. That By-laws 49-2001 and 9-2003 are hereby repealed.
4. That the definition of "Enforcement Officer" in Part 1, Section 1 (u) of By-law 53-2010, being a By-law to regulate the discharge of matter into the sanitary and storm sewage systems, be deleted and replaced with: 
   
   "Enforcement Officer" means any person employed to enforce Regional by-laws as designated in By-law
   48-2014, as amended or replaced from time to time, and also known as a "by-law enforcement officer".
