In the spring/summer/fall months we have trail bike units that patrol the parks and do parking by-law on their travels. In the winter/spring/fall time, they are responsible for school zone enforcement, and misc parking by-law enforcement outside of school hours.
I would assume these officers will be doing the proactive enforcement as they traverse the city going from school to school.

The report specifically talked about hiring new officers, on a temporary basis in winter. It is definitely not the case that existing officers are doing pro-active enforcement, those officers are already at capacity dealing with complaints, which often result in days (or weeks) long backlogs of complaints about uncleared sidewalks to investigate.
Sorry Coke, I know bylaw officers are trying, but generally I find bylaw enforcement pretty ineffective for things like parking and sidewalk clearing.
No offense... I don't work in by-law anymore.
All I can say is *I* was effective in parking & noise when I was there....
