Can confirm.
That article is on point, I want to know who was in COV's pocket to get these ridiculous requirements instituted.
My wife works for a small shop here in Victoria that manufactures heritage style wood windows. If you have a heritage style house that isn't designated/registered heritage and you new a window or something, you're SOL to get a new one that matches your old.
Man, how pissy do your neighbors have to be to report window replacements?
I must be lucky, out in Saanich here no one seems to give a shit, people are easy going. I fed and wired my garage without a permit (Done 100% to code though, just didn't want the hassle)
