Methodology

Every answer on this site comes from a real bylaw, not a guess. We link to the source and tell you when we last checked it — this isn’t legal advice, it’s a reliable starting point before you talk to your borough.

If we haven’t verified something yet, we say so. We never guess at a number, and we never call something legal or illegal based on a news article alone. Past six months, a check gets a heads-up on the page; past a year, we take it down until it’s rechecked.

French is the reference language for bylaw text, since that’s the language they’re written in. Where we haven’t translated something into English yet, you’ll see the French text with a clear note.
