Updated Good Neighbour Guide Now Available

Date Released: May 5, 2025

Next week, May 11 to 17, is Local Government Awareness Week in British Columbia. In honour of this week, the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) is launching an updated version of the Good Neighbour Guide.

This guide emphasizes the importance of being considerate of neighbors by doing things such as maintaining clean properties, reducing noise pollution, following backyard burning regulations and water conservation regulations, and ensuring pets are well-behaved.

“The first version of the publication was developed nearly a decade ago in 2016,” says Aidan Buckley, SCRD Manager of Communications and Engagement. “Since then, new bylaws and regulations have been adopted, so it was time to give this great resource a much-needed update and provide our community with a revised version of the booklet.”

A copy of the Good Neighbour Guide can be found here or by going to www.scrd.ca and scrolling to the link at the bottom of the page.

The goal of Local Government Awareness Week is to generate awareness and educate communities about the roles and responsibilities of local government and encourage the public to participate in local government processes.

We thank you for doing your part to be a good neighbour!
