Administrative Monetary Penalty (AMP) The AMP system is designed to streamline the enforcement of, and increase compliance with, Township of Amour’s By-laws. Under AMP, Penalty Notice disputes are handled by the Township through the use of Screening and Hearing Officers who are able to modify, cancel, or otherwise affirm penalties. The purpose of this method is to reduce congestion in the courts and to provide a local (Township) resolution affording an accessible, transparent, and streamlined dispute resolution process. As mentioned, the method in which the AMP system is enforced is conducted through the use of a Penalty Notice. A Penalty Notice is only enforced by Township of Armour’s By-law Enforcement personnel who have been provided authority by Council. Penalty Notices are issued for contraventions of various Township by-laws, of which it draws its authority through the AMP By-law. What is a Penalty Notice? The method in which an AMP By-law contravention is enforced is found through the use of a Penalty Notice. A Penalty Notice is a notice that is served on an individual that has alleged to contravene the AMP By-law and by doing so has been assessed a monetary penalty. These penalties can range from $25 to $300 dependent upon the offence. A Penalty Notice forms a debt to the Township in which the individual is required to make payment within a 15-day timeframe or request a review or extension. Penalty Notices are governed by the Township AMP By-law and the statutory authority found within of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c.25. The following is a list of By-laws that are authorized for the use within Administrative Monetary Penalty System: Animal Control By-law (Including Dogs) Animal(s)-at-Large By-law (not including Dogs) Backyard Chicken By-law Depositing of Snow on Municipal Highways By-law Dock Bubblers Aerators and/or De-Icers By-law Dumping By-law Municipal Parks By-law Noise By-law Nuisance Beavers and Beaver Dams By-law Open Air Burning By-law Public Nuisances By-law Smoking or Vaping Cannabis / Tobacco By-law Trailer Licencing By-law Please refer to the information on the reverse side of the Penalty Notice. The Administrative Penalty Notice number is located on the top portion of the Penalty Notice. The Penalty Notice Number is unique and identifies a specific incident(s) in which an AMP By-law has been contravened. Individuals are encouraged to safeguard the Penalty Notice and all relevant information held within.

At CN, we are committed to operating a safe and efficient railway while fostering trust and collaboration with the communities we serve. As part of this commitment, we are reaching out to inform you of our upcoming vegetation management activities in your area, scheduled to take place between April and October 2025. You can find a regularly updated schedule at www.cn.ca/vegetation . Vegetation management is a crucial component of railway safety and regulatory compliance. In accordance with Transport Canada’s requirements, our program helps maintain clear sightlines for motorists and pedestrians at crossings while mitigating potential risks to railway operations. By proactively managing vegetation, we enhance safety for both rail operations and the surrounding communities. Management Strategies CN manages vegetation using both chemical and mechanical methods. We are sensitive to concerns your community may have regarding chemical vegetation management and at CN, we strive to safeguard our neighbouring communities and the environment. The track infrastructure is composed of two main sections, the 24-foot ballast section (which is primarily gravel and supports the track structure) and the right of way portion (which is the area outside of the ballast section to the CN property boundary). The 24-foot ballast section and the areas around signals and communications equipment that are critical for safe railway operations will be managed using chemical methods. Application in these safety critical areas is done by spray trucks or spray trains with downcast nozzles that spray a short distance above the ground surface with shrouded booms, specially designed to limit the chemicals from drifting. The right-of-way section is maintained using mechanical control methods such as mowing, or brush cutting and may be chemically treated to control noxious or invasive weeds or brush. CN will use chemical control techniques on the ballast section and specific locations of the right of way throughout the network for safety reasons. Furthermore, when chemicals are applied via spray train or truck, additives called surfactants are included to make the chemical work better. CN has retained professional contractors qualified to undertake this work. They are required to follow all laws and regulations that apply to CN. In addition, the contractors will ensure that vegetation control is performed with consideration of the environment and in accordance with the highest industry standards. Should your community have any noxious weed removal requests, we ask that you contact CN's Public Inquiry Line at contact@cn.ca or fill out the form at www.cn.ca/vegetation before J  une 1, 2025 with the specific information and location. CN will make every effort to include those locations as part of our 2025 Vegetation Management Program. All notices sent after the above-mentioned date will be included in the 2026 Vegetation Management Plan.
