Current by-laws
Public and legally binding act adopted by one of the city's decision-making bodies (agglomeration council, city council, executive committee or borough council).

Consolidated by-laws
Consolidated by-laws are updated by-laws that officially integrate the original by-law with its amendments. Unlike office consolidations, consolidated by-laws are legally binding and replace the original by-law. However, there are not currently any consolidated by-laws for the city. Consolidated by-laws of the former city are available solely for information purposes so that citizens can research by-laws that applied to the former city through October 19, 2001. After October 19, 2001, these by-laws may have been amended, repealed or replaced by by-laws from the borough councils, city council and the agglomeration council.


Historical by-laws

Office consolidation
