Specifics of Decision:

“Under section 84 (1) of the FBCSA, a local municipality that receives a request for an approval to establish, alter or increase the capacity of a cemetery in the municipality…. shall grant the approval if, in the municipality’s opinion, it is in the public interest”; at the Council in Committee Meeting held January 28th, 2020, the following was determined: 

 

1. The request was not within the Public’s Interest 

2. The subject lands are designated as Agricultural in the Townships Official Plan; therefore, an application for a cemetery would not conform with the Planning Act.
