Cemetery By-law 144-2022 The City’s original cemetery by-law was enacted in 1992. In June 2022, Council endorsed a revised by-law – Cemetery By-law 144-2022 (PDF) – to ensure the City, as a cemetery operator, meets the current regulations under the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002 (FBCSA). In July 2022, the City submitted Cemetery By-law 144-2022 to the registrar of the FBCSA for approval.
