The Oops.

[swestrup]

So, last night taxlady realized that she had forgotten to pick up a permit for us to have a yard sale. That means that we now have a dining room table (plus the surrounding area) piled high with junk, and it will be there for at least a week. :-/

So, I think we shall need to find a way to re-pile it so that it takes up less space than it does now, or we won't have a table to eat off of for that week (unless you count the patio, but as Margaret and kalkully discovered last weekend that doesn't work so well when its raining).

You need a permit? where does it say that you need a permit for a yard sale? unless you're selling your yard...

Is it some sort of by-law in Montreal/DDO/Quebec?

Where I come from in Ontario... you need no such permit. And I don't even think that the cities of London, ON or Windsor, ON need them... I cannot find anything on Toronto or Ottawa's websites to indicate permits are required for yard sales in Ontario...

Can you point me to the Montreal linkage, svp?

Its a DDO bylaw, I believe. At least, we found out about it when we read the quarterly flyer that the city puts out. We phoned up City Hall and they confirmed the need for a permit.

They are free, and you can pick them up during weekly business hours, but we forgot.
