Living in Clive: Let’s Talk Community Standards

The Village of Clive is inviting residents to review and provide feedback on the proposed Community Standards Bylaw No. 578-26.

The proposed bylaw has received First and Second Reading by Council. Before considering Third and Final Reading, Council is providing an opportunity once again for residents to review the proposed regulations and submit feedback.

The proposed bylaw brings several existing Village bylaws and regulations together into one updated Community Standards Bylaw. It covers a variety of matters that affect everyday community living.

Some of the proposed regulations include:

• Dogs & Cats: A maximum of 3 dogs and 3 cats may be kept on a residential property. Dogs and cats over 8 weeks of age are required to be licensed.

• Urban Hens: Residents may apply for a licence to keep up to 6 urban hens, subject to requirements for coop location, size, cleanliness and care. No roosters allowed.

• Unsightly Properties: Properties must be maintained to prevent the accumulation of garbage, refuse, scrap materials and other conditions that create a nuisance, safety concern or unsightly condition.

• Trees & Vegetation: Property owners are responsible for maintaining vegetation so it does not obstruct visibility or interfere with sidewalks and roadways.

• Snow & Ice: Snow and ice must be removed from adjacent sidewalks within 48 hours of accumulation.

• Noise: The bylaw addresses excessive or nuisance noise and establishes hours for construction-related noise.

• Animal Control: The bylaw includes requirements relating to animals at large, animal waste, persistent barking or noise, and aggressive animals.

These are just some of the provisions included in the proposed bylaw. Residents are encouraged to review the full draft and provide feedback on the regulations that may affect them.

Written submissions will be accepted until Tuesday, October 13, 2026.

Comments may be submitted to the Village Office at 5115 50 Street or emailed to clerk@clive.ca.

The proposed Community Standards Bylaw is available for review through the Village Office and on the Village of Clive website.

We encourage residents to take a look, ask questions and let Council know what you think.
