If you’re being bothered by aggressive strays or neighbours who don’t know the meaning of the term “poop and scoop”, you’re in luck: the city has finalized a new dog control by-law that will give you more convenient hours to call in complaints, among other changes.
Amy Poffenroth telling common council the fines for dog-control by-law violations are going up for as much as $2100. Previously, the maximum fine was $500.
Although the city will no longer respond to calls about stray cats, stray dogs will now be impounded for 72 rather than 48 hours. For a link to the full version of the dog-control by-law, click here
