At last night’s council meeting, a notice of motion was tabled concerning the draft by-law RCM-74-2019 regarding animal control, in order to introduce new requirements applicable to dogs and cats as well as restrictions on owners of dangerous or potentially dangerous dogs.

Following that notice of motion, a number of residents expressed their discontent towards certain aspects of this draft by-law, namely the fact that it included breed-specific legislation (targeting nearly a dozen breeds as potentially dangerous dogs).
