Answer Notes

Historically, antenna towers under 15 metres were broadly exempt from public consultation across Canada. However, regulations have been updated to ensure greater local involvement, meaning the exemption height now depends entirely on what the local land-use authority (LUA) or ISED specifically allows. Because of this change, a rigid universal height limit like 15 metres is no longer the correct answer. You must look to the specific exemptions granted by your local LUA or ISED, making distractors with fixed heights incorrect.
