Bylaws and Policies
Bylaws are laws created by Improvement District 9 generally under the authority of the Municipal Government Act (Alberta). To pass bylaws, Council must give them three readings (three separate approvals) at Council meetings. The public is encouraged to provide input.

Policies
Policies provide overarching standards for decision making and operations within local government. They are not typically enforceable by law, but they can help an organization operate consistently. Policies are approved by Council.
