Proposed By-Law #43: Outdoor Illumination and Light Pollution
- Published: July 11, 2025
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT at its Executive Council Meeting of June 26, 2025, Council approved first reading of "By-Law #43 Outdoor Illumination and Light Pollution".
A copy of the proposed by-law is available by clicking here.
Thanks to thoughtful and legitimate feedback from our residents, we’re making changes to the draft Outdoor Lighting and Light Pollution By-Law — and opening the door to even more conversations before the final reading.
Council is committed to protecting our night sky, but we know there’s more than one way to get there. We want to hear from you — residents, business owners, and community members — to find the right path forward for Argyle.
There is no enforcement until 2027. This by-law is about long-term change, not overnight penalties.
The current draft encourages:
✅ Aiming outdoor lights downward
✅ Using warm-coloured bulbs
✅ Avoiding bright white or blue LEDs
✅ Turning lights off when not needed
Stay tuned — we’ll be giving opportunities to share your ideas and help shape the final version.

Ongoing Commitment to Accessibility, Equity, and Inclusion
- Published: May 29, 2025
The Municipality of the District of Argyle remains committed to building a community where everyone feels welcome, respected, and able to participate fully in civic life.
Through our Accessibility Plan (2025–2028), we continue to take meaningful steps to identify and remove barriers in municipal programs, services, and spaces. This work ensures that individuals of all abilities have equitable access to the resources and opportunities our municipality offers.
Our Equity and Anti-Racism Strategy also reflects our recognition that historical and systemic discrimination continues to affect members of our community. This strategy guides our efforts to promote fairness, dignity, and respect through inclusive policies, education, and dialogue.
In support of these initiatives, we also provide an Interactive Accessibility Map—a digital tool designed to help residents and visitors locate accessible municipal infrastructure, including buildings, parking, transit stops, trails, and public washrooms.
These efforts reflect our ongoing responsibility to create a more inclusive and equitable Argyle for all.
