At the session, staff from Milton Fire and Rescue Services, By-law Enforcement, and the Building Division will share information and answer residents’ questions.

Background
At the Sept. 8 Council meeting, staff were directed to host a public information session, continue public education about ARUs over the next three years, and communicate about future compliance expectations and timelines.
In March 2025, the Town introduced an ARU registration program. The program records critical emergency response information for Fire and Rescue Services, helping ensure occupant safety and compliance with the Fire Code, municipal regulations, and zoning by-laws.
In June 2024, Council approved changes to the Official Plan and zoning by-laws to allow ARUs in Milton’s urban areas. The changes aim to increase the housing supply and provide more affordable housing options. ARUs in rural areas are still under review.
