P.A. reminding residents to pick it up this Spring
It stinks, looks unsightly and attracts flies and other pests. During a council meeting Monday, the issue of people failing to clean up after pets was brought to the attention of council.
Mayor Greg Dionne said council had a complaint from a resident about neighbouring dogs and wanted to know what they could do about it. Dionne said the bylaw dictates residents can be ordered to clean up their yard.
“We’re taking action to tell people to clean up their yards,” he said.
“I think it’s a problem in some areas and unfortunately it’s a problem with some dog owners,” Coun. Martin Ring said, explaining, the Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw is quite specific in regards to picking up after pets.
