Municipal Legislation Leanne Deering and Hannah MarlowIntroduction to Pinestream
Pinestream is a town with a population of 10,000 people located 250km North of Toronto. This
town believes that wildlife and pets should be able to live in harmony. Certain by-laws have
been set in place to make this dream a reality. Residents are all ages and enjoy the outdoors
and wildlife but also enjoy the company of pets. Most of the town revenue comes from tourism
and farming; with forests and natural, undisturbed land, Pinestream fits the lifestyles of those
who enjoy fishing, hiking, nature watching, and agricultural farming.
