Adam Pollock has been calling on the city for more than a decade to do more about noise from the West Industrial area.
Saskatchewan’s provincial government could soon be asked to weigh in on how City of Saskatoon lawyers interpret the city’s noise bylaw, amid a long-running effort by residents to curb noise coming from the West Industrial area.
He came to the committee to challenge the bylaw interpretation outlined to him in a 2020 letter from the city solicitor’s office, which argued that “It’s always zoning, zoning, zoning — it doesn’t include other factors,” Pollock said of the city solicitor’s view, while claiming language in other sections of the noise bylaw regulating nuisances ought to apply equally to industrial businesses as other sources of noise.
Responding to questions from the committee after Pollock’s presentation, Blair Blakeney, who works in the city solicitor’s office, said city lawyers “can’t just isolate a particular word or phrase or an incident and then look for a potential prosecution.”
