Portside Law Cape Breton Bylaw Modernization RFP Workplan
Cape Breton Regulatory Modernization Pilot: By-law Modernization Initiative Action Plan for Port Hawkesbury D A T E September 17, 2020 S U B M I T T E D B Y P O R T S I D E L A W L L P Portside Law LLP Cape Breton Regulatory Modernization Pilot By‐Law Inventory Initiative: Executive Summary Port Hawkesbury Background In the spring of 2019, the Province of Nova Scotia, through the Office of Regulatory Affairs and Service Effectiveness, and the five municipalities on Cape Breton Island entered into a pilot partnership to improve the regulatory environment to make operation and expansion easier for Island Businesses. Regulatory reform and modernization play a key role in the province’s broader economic growth strategy. Together, the parties agreed to a workplan that reflects the input provided by the business community during stakeholder engagement sessions in Port Hawkesbury, Glace Bay, Sydney, Baddeck, Inverness and Cheticamp. One of the first initiatives the parties undertook was to produce an updated inventory of By‐laws on municipal websites to alleviate confusion around compliance requirements for business. This initiative was in direct response to stakeholder input heard throughout the engagement sessions. Businesses identified that finding, learning and complying with different municipal By‐laws as one of the challenges posed by operating across the Island. Upon completion of this project, that objective will be met. Once the parties began work in this area it became readily apparent than there were substantial issues with a number of municipal By‐laws in addition to their accessibility online.
