This might be something local officials may want to consider as they deal with the issue of student housing and street parties.
The city of Hamilton is considering making a pilot project that sees students ticket students, a permanent program.
In January the city hired two Mohawk co op students to enforce yard maintenance in a student housing area around McMaster University.
They're paid $19 an hour, a wage that's about 55 percent cheaper than a bylaw officer.
The students enforce yard maintenance and issue tickets in an effort to get students and landlords to clean up derelict properties.
Hamilton's planning committee now wants to hire another two more Mohawk students and make it a permanent program.
