On November 12, 2024, Town Council adopted a new Parks By-law and Encampment Response Protocol following an extensive community consultation. This protocol establishes sensitive use areas where encampments are not permitted, and rules regarding size and cleanliness that must be followed for encampments on public land outside of the sensitive use areas.
Council will be reviewing the Parks By-law and Encampment Protocol at the end of the summer and is looking for community input on how the Town’s implementation of this by-law can be improved.
Residents can share their input by completing the Town's survey on Let's Talk Greater Napanee. The survey will be open for feedback until August 6, 2025.
