Current rules, unchanged since 1997, allow work until 9 PM most days and 9 AM to 9 PM on weekends, with blasting permitted during daytime hours except Sundays. Councillor Paul Manly highlighted how late hours disrupt families with young children and noted other cities enforce stricter limits, including 12-hour daily caps and Sunday bans. Meanwhile, builders warn new restrictions could delay vital housing projects, arguing weekend work is sometimes essential. City staff are now reviewing other municipalities’ noise bylaws to propose balanced solutions that protect residents’ peace without crippling development.
