The applicants sought an injunction to stop their neighbour from operating an unapproved outdoor shooting range on his property.
The respondent argued his property was not a 'shooting range' under the Firearms Act because the events were informal and involved non-restricted firearms.
The court found the respondent's organized shooting events were 'regular and structured', meeting the definition of a shooting range, and thus required approval under the Firearms Act.
The court also found the activities violated the municipal zoning by-law and constituted a private nuisance.
An injunction was granted prohibiting the shooting activities unless and until the respondent obtains Firearms Act approval and appropriate zoning.
