At the end of the month, the Town of Strathmore will be hosting an open house to get more public engagement on regulations for Sea Can storage in town.

The town council approved an amendment to the Land Use Bylaw that strengthened the regulations around sea cans and sea cans used for storage.

The open house will be from 4 to 6 p.m. on August 30th in council chambers.

A report from the open house will be compiled and presented to the council for review.

According to the town, sea cans used for storage purposes are required to obtain a development permit and building permit. If the sea can is kept on a property temporarily, for less than 10 days, it is exempt from needing a development or building permit. 

Some of the new regulations now require sea cans used for storage to be vented, set back from other buildings and parking areas, and control the types of materials that can be stored.
