The Village Council has enacted Bylaws 445 and 473 to ensure that Arrowwood remains a safe and enjoyable place to live for all residents. These documents should be considered a starting point in developing the best regulatory framework. The Village Council welcomes input and suggestions on how these bylaws can and should be amended.
The Village of Arrowwood contracts Vulcan County Protective Services to provide bylaw enforcement, however, all complaints must be initiated at the Village Office. In order to process a complaint, written notice must be provided identifying the property, the owner or tenant, and how a breach of the standards set out in these bylaws is believed to have occurred. Anonymous complaints will not be treated with the same degree of urgency as those where the complainant has identified themselves and, especially, where resolution between neighbours has already been attempted.
Complaint will be investigated, required enforcement will be initiated, and the Chief Administrative Officer will report on the matter to the Village Council.

The Development Officer for the Village of Arrowwood is the Chief Administrative Officer. Please contact the Village Office to discuss all prospective development.
While the Development Officer can approve all “Permitted Use” applications, they retain the right to refer ANY application to the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) for decision. The Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) is appointed by the Village Council, consisting of two members of the Village Council and a Member-at-Large. This body will review and decide upon all “Discretionary Use” applications, as well as permit and determine any context specific “waivers” of standards that are otherwise required.
Decisions of the Municipal Planning Commission can be appealed to the Chinook Subdivision Development Appeal Board (SDAB) by the applicant, by adjacent landowners or other interested parties. This avenue of appeal is established under Bylaw 466 which can be found HERE. As a last resort, application can be made to the courts to overturn the decision of any Subdivision Development Appeal Board which, in this case, would be a lawsuit against the Village of Arrowwood once the Chinook SDAB has rendered a decision.
The Village of Arrowwood is a member-municipality of the Oldman River Regional Services Commission (ORRSC). This means that the village is a shareholder and part owner of this organization and, as such, appoints a representative to their Board of Directors. The services of this commission are necessary for compliance with governing legislation and a planner is assigned to Arrowwood to act on the village’s behalf. Over and above direct planning advice and direction, ORRSC also provides Arrowwood with a Geographic Information System (GIS), an Assessment Complaint Review Board, as well as managing the Chinook Subdivision Development Appeal Board.
More information on the services provided to Arrowwood by ORRSC can be found HERE, along with the contact information for Arrowwood’s Planner.
