Source priority
- Federal, provincial, territorial and municipal government sources
- Official building-code and safety-authority publications
- Official application guides, bylaws, forms and technical bulletins
- Established professional or standards sources when official material needs context
Page standards
- State that local confirmation is required.
- Explain uncertainty instead of inventing a universal threshold.
- Distinguish building, zoning, development, trade and location-based approvals.
- Avoid copying municipal text or turning one template into hundreds of thin pages.
- Link to current official starting points and record the review date.
Updates
Pages may be revised when authorities change forms, code editions, online systems or public guidance. Because local information can change between reviews, readers must verify the current official source before acting.
Corrections policy
Substantive documented corrections are reviewed against the official authority. A correction may update the page, source link or wording without providing individual project advice.
Advertising separation
Advertising is not allowed to influence factual conclusions or official-source selection.
