Can you find all the web addresses for all municipalities in BC? Can you find the email addresses for the mayors and councils? Can you find the web and email addresses for the GVRD and other Regional District governments? And then send them to us? We have some but not all, and some links are old, and some municipalities have put their bylaws online since the last time we asked.

We need both the link to the bylaw, adn for it to be copied and pasted into an email. If the bylaw is in pdf, it needs to be transcribed and then emailed (with the link). Think you can do this? Tell us what area or municipality you will do.

So many of them are so flawed! Well-meaning activists keep urging their mayors and councils to adopt bad bylaws (not realizing they are bad) as in Maple Ridge this year which has adopted the flawed "Exotic and Wild Animal" bylaw, copying it from the first bad bylaw adopted in Surrey in 1994, but at least its not as bad as the one in Vancouver which is limited to circuses, allowing all other forms of exploitation such as tigers in bars etc. AAS would like to help to standardize "good" bylaws in BC municipalities.
