Ward 1 Community Meeting to provide input on draft Animal Control By-Law
Time: 7 p.m.
Location: St. Joseph's Parish Hall, Locke at Herkimer (enter off of Herkimer)
The City of Hamilton is developing one comprehensive by-law to replace pre-amalgamation Animal Control By-laws in the former municipalities and is requesting that the public submit written input and feedback on the proposed, new By-law.
Creating one by-law for Animal Control will help ensure:
- Consistency across the City;
- Increased health and safety for residents and animals; and
- A common understanding of priorities.
A public meeting was held on November 17, 2009 to provide an opportunity for the community to provide their input.
We have been receiving calls in the office about issues around cats as well as urban livestock. Councillor McHattie would like to provide another opportunity for Ward 1 to hear about the issues from staff and some community members and then provide their input. This will help guide Brian, when the issue comes back to council.
Hope to see you there!
Speakers:
Paul Buckle, Manager, Animal Control, City of Hamilton
Liz White, Leader, Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada
Dr. Liz O’Brien, DVM, owner of the Cat Clinic
