I am unable to tell you whether this recommendation will be implemented by the Grey District Council, as there has been insufficient time from receipt of your recommendation to provide a recommendation to Council and for the Council to go through the bylaw process and public participation required by statute.
I am, however, interested in applying the concepts of your recommendation in the draft bylaw review being prepared.
