A Bibliography on Local Government in
British Columbia - Continued
Municipal Law
It is difficult to generalize about themes in the Canadian
literature on municipal law, both because the subject is so broad,
and because laws vary from province to province. One overriding
theme, however, is that municipalities are very much "creatures
of the provinces." They are only permitted to carry out
functions which are explicitly given to them by their respective
provincial governments (this is as opposed to being permitted to do
anything which is not explicitly forbidden). Provinces may, of
course, make some functions mandatory for municipalities to carry
out and some functions optional.
A word of caution: the references listed below are intended for
the reader with general interest in municipal law. Neither this
listing nor any of the materials listed below are a replacement for
the advice of qualified legal counsel.
Because this bibliography is intended for the lay reader,
specialized legal reference sources were not searched. Moreover,
readers should note that laws can change very quickly. Materials
listed below reflect the laws at the time they were written.
