Consultation begins on Animals Bylaw
Consultation starts today on our reviewed and amended Animals Bylaw. The purpose of the Animals Bylaw is to provide for the ownership of animals (excluding dogs) in a way that protects the public from nuisance and maintains and promotes public health and safety. Dogs are controlled under a separate Dog Management Bylaw, which will be reviewed in 2023.
A range options for the management of cats have been considered as part of this bylaw being reviewed. However, there is no national legislation that would give Council powers to regulate cats the way we regulate dogs. Non-bylaw approaches to cat management, such as funding and education, are discussed as part of the review.
You can find the full statement of proposal (20 pages) and a summary of the changes (6 pages), along with the tools to send your feedback, at this link:

Consultation on the Animals Bylaw runs from 3 November – 3 December 2021.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
