Exotic Animal Bylaw passes second reading in HH | Bancroft this Week

July 27, 2021 By Nate Smelle Hastings Highlands council reviewed the draft of the municipality’s proposed Exotic Animal Bylaw during a second reading at its meeting on July 21. Before the vote, council took time to discuss the proposed bylaw. Praising staff for their work on developing the bylaw, Councillor Tammy Davis explained to her fellow council members why she is ready to move forward with the bylaw. “This is an extremely comprehensive and complete bylaw,” said Davis. “I believe it’s fair and just. Our public input has given us the same feedback with no new recommendations. I don’t have any suggestions for any further changes, and I am prepared to pass it as is presented. And, if there’s no changes I am not sure why it would go for a third reading.”

Council considers seeking legal advice on county's bylaw template

March 16, 2021 By Nate Smelle Hastings Highlands Councillor Alex Walder has submitted a notice of motion appearing on the agenda at council’s March 17 meeting which, if approved, will direct staff to request professional legal advice on Hastings County’s Exotic Animal Bylaw template. The template was created by Hastings County’s Planning and Development committee after Hastings Highlands council requested assistance with establishing a bylaw to regulate the keeping of exotic animals at their Nov. 18, 2020 meeting. Council decided to seek the county’s help in response to concerns for public safety and animal welfare arising from the community because of a proposed roadside zoo/safari business on Peterson Road.
