Please take note that By-law 690 concerning nuisance has been recently amended to create By-law 690-5. The new amendments now specify on which Statutory holidays and on which Jewish holidays noise is not permitted. Statutory holidays include “January 1st and 2nd, Good Friday, Easter Monday, June 24th, July 1st, the first Monday of September, the second Monday of October, December 25th and 26th and the Monday preceding May 25th (National Patriots day) or any other day fixed by government proclamation.” Jewish holidays are defined as Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Furthermore, “nighttime” has been defined as “the period of time from 21h00 of one day to 07h00 of the next day.”
Therefore, as stipulated in Article 4.3, “it is forbidden to engage in construction work, of nay nature whatsoever that has the effect of emitting noise outdoors:
- Before 07h00 and after 21h00 Monday to Friday inclusive;
- Before 09h00 and after 18h00 on Saturdays and Sundays;
- On Statutory holidays and Jewish holidays.”
