Bylaw in Rockport regarding divers....There is none!
I just received a call from the bylaw officer for Leeds County, very nice person who proceeded to let me know that there is no bylaw, no temporay injunction and to ignore any signs that say no diving off the boat ramp. It is a public ramp with no restrictions to the public for it's reasonable use.
Further, as far as he is aware of, town council is not engaged in putting together a bylaw restricting or stopping divers from entering or exiting via the boat ramp. Also it is illegal for anyone other than the municipality to place any signs at that ramp.
Should anyone approach you and state otherwise they are to be directed to: (and please do it politely)

So there it is. Now the only other issue is parking, it is limited so be responsible where you put your vehicle. Lets not give "you know who" another platform to beat his chest on. I will be speaking with a local business owner to see if we can figure out a solution, at least for off season.
