Village of Carmacks Public Notice
New Animal Control Services and Municipal By-law Enforcement Effective September 1st
Attention Residents of Carmacks,
Starting September 1st, the Village of Carmacks will be implementing new Animal Control services and enhanced Municipal By-law Enforcement to ensure the safety, health, and well-being of our community and its residents.
Key Points:
-
Animal Control Services:
- Licensing Requirements: All dogs and cats must be licensed. Licensing ensures that lost pets can be returned to their owners promptly.
- Leash Laws: All dogs must be on a leash when off the owner’s property. Exceptions apply to designated off-leash areas.
- Nuisance Animals: It is the owner's responsibility to ensure their pets do not cause disturbances. This includes excessive barking, roaming at large, and property damage.
- Dangerous Animals: Owners of animals deemed dangerous will be subject to stricter regulations, including secure confinement and muzzling in public.
- Impounding of Uncontained Animals: Any animals found at large without a leash or outside the owner’s property will be impounded. Owners will be responsible for paying impound fees and fines before their pets are released.
-
Municipal By-law Enforcement:
- Parks and Public Spaces: New regulations will be enforced to maintain the cleanliness and safety of our parks and public areas. This includes prohibitions on littering, damage to vegetation, and unauthorized fires.
- Traffic and Parking: Enforcement of parking regulations and the use of vehicles in public spaces will be enhanced.
- Noise Complaints: Noise regulations will be enforced to ensure a peaceful environment for all residents.
Compliance and Penalties:
Failure to comply with the new by-laws and regulations may result in fines, penalties, and other enforcement actions. For a detailed list of fines and regulations, please refer to By-law 252-18 (Animal Control) and By-law 249-18 (Parks and Open Spaces).
