City to Host Virtual Information Session for Proposed Changes to the Vacant and Derelict Building By-Law


December 7, 2023

BRANDON, MB - The City of Brandon is hosting a virtual information session on proposed changes to the Vacant and Derelict Building By-Law.

The intention of the Vacant and Derelict By-Law is to ensure vacant buildings are safe, to motivate owners to either use their buildings, or redevelop their properties as appropriate. The proposed changes to this by-law will remove enforcement barriers and allow administration to more actively pursue a proactive enforcement approach downtown. The full City Council Report on the proposed changes is available here.

The virtual information session will be on Thursday, December 14, 2023 at 4 p.m.

Registration is required to attend. To sign up, please contact the City of Brandon's Building Safety Manager, Murray Fischer, at 204-729-2151 or email m.fischer@brandon.ca. An invitation link will be sent in advance to those registered. Those who cannot attend can reach out directly to the Building Safety Manager for more information.

The first reading of the By-Law took place at City Council's regular meeting on Monday, December 4, 2023. The 2nd and 3rd reading of the By-Law will take place on Monday, December 18, 2023, for City Council debate and consideration.
