Why did the City of Edmonton change the Parks and Recreation Bylaw?
The review of Bylaw 2202 was overdue. The original Parks and Recreation Bylaw 2202 was first passed by City Council in 1961. Since then, it had been amended eleven times and had become outdated. A revised Parkland Bylaw is necessary for the good of the citizens of Edmonton and the protection of parkland. Many of the rules from the former Parks and Recreation Bylaw were updated and carried over into the amended Parkland Bylaw.
