Bylaw recommendations pass

At their January 11, 2021 Governance and Priorities Committee meeting, City staff presented the feedback received from here as well as emails sent to Mayor and Council. Six major themes emerged from the feedback received:

• Cats at Large,
• Mandatory Identification of Cats,
• Mandatory Sterilization of Cats,
• Breed Specific Legislation and Aggressive Dog Provisions,
• Pet Limits, and
• the Bylaw in General

Recommendations were put forward with options for the committee’s consideration based on those themes. The committee selected Option 1 regarding the cats at large provisions, and passed all other recommendations as presented. For more information on the recommendations and to see the discussion, watch the January 11, 2021 Governance and Priorities meeting.

Next steps

The bylaw will be presented to Council for consideration of first three readings on February 1, 2020.
