Deputy mayor suggests limits to how many times bylaw officers return loose dogs to owners

It might be time for a review of Iqaluit’s animal control bylaw, says Deputy Mayor Kim Smith.

Smith made the suggestion during the city’s public safety committee’s meeting Thursday afternoon after Coun. Amber Aglukark, who chairs the committee, brought up the issue of loose dogs.

“We have all heard reports of pedestrians, children and others being chased, attacked or feeling unsafe simply walking through our neighbourhoods,” Aglukark said.
