Dog Control: Councillor Heebink stated that he was not in favour of a dog control officer at this time. The majority of loose dogs are not a problem; most are friendly and known to the neighbours. Dog control is always an issue of dog owners. A dog control officer should deal with complaints, not random loose dogs. Councillor Savoie replied that communities would like something in place to deal with the dangerous dogs and out of control situations. There would have to be a line of command in place, such as first contacting the Councillor who would then call the enforcement officer if needed. 8. New Business and Question Period.
