At their meeting on October 27th, Council directed staff to prepare draft amendments to the City's Demolition Waste and Recyclable Materials Bylaw to reflect both local and regional priorities to reduce construction and demolition waste, preserve material value, and advance circular economy practices. Based on staff's analysis and industry consultation feedback, staff have outlined recommended directions to support future amendments to the Bylaw, summarized in the table below.  

To support industry adaptation, staff propose a phased implementation plan that signals future demand for circular demolition services without delaying construction. 

Additional information can be found in the  full report by City staff.
