Lakeshore Launches Shipping Container Survey
The Municipality of Lakeshore has launched a survey regarding the use of shipping containers (often referred to as Sea Cans), in response to both by-law complaints and a growing interest towards use for residential and commercial purposes.
Currently, Lakeshore’s Zoning By-law only allows shipping containers for temporary storage. Residents are invited to submit their feedback on if, and how, shipping containers should be used and regulated in Lakeshore.
“We want to ensure residents have a chance to voice their opinions and we appreciate everyone who takes the time to do so,” said Mayor Tracey Bailey. “Your input helps Council make informed decisions that reflect the wishes of our communities.”
The survey will be available until Monday, September 15, 2025, and a summary of responses will be provided to Council for consideration.
To participate in the survey and for more information, please visit Lakeshore.ca/SeaCanSurvey.
Residents can also submit responses over the phone by contacting the Public Service Unit at 519-728-2700 during regular business hours.
