Draft Public Spaces By-law

Have Your Say on the Draft Public Spaces By-law!

The Municipality of French River is seeking public feedback on the Draft Public Spaces By-law, which establishes clear rules for how public areas, parks, wharfs, and swimming areas are used and maintained.

The goal of the By-law is to ensure that all public spaces remain safe, clean, and accessible for everyone to enjoy. It also provides a framework for events and organized activities to use municipal spaces responsibly, while preventing unsafe or disruptive behaviour in shared areas.

Here’s what the proposed By-law covers:

  • Keeps public spaces safe and clean 
  • Allows events with municipal permission 
  • Protects public swimming areas 
  • Clarifies wharf and boat launch use

How to Participate: 

1) Read the Draft By-Law: Draft Public Spaces By-law

2) Complete the short online survey to share your feedback. Public Feedback Survey

Feedback will be accepted until December 6, 2025. After this date, staff will compile a report for presentation to Council.
