Fiona MacLeod tracks municipal water policy across British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Her focus is the gap between what a drought map says and what a bylaw officer can actually ticket you for — a gap that is unusually wide in Western Canada, where a regional district, a province and a city can each hold a different piece of the same decision. She reads the bylaws themselves rather than the press releases, verifies every stage against the issuing authority before publication, and treats a municipality that has not published its fine schedule as a fact we do not have rather than one we can estimate.
