With all that snow, everyone must pitch in to keep our community moving. For our part - the Town of Fairview Public Works department works hard to keep our streets clean and clear. It’s your turn - pursuant to Section 3 of Bylaw No. 937/TR/2009, commercial properties are responsible for clearing snow and ice off walkways within 24 hours of snowfall’s end; for residential properties, 48 hours. Unfortunately, for some residents of our community, removing snow can be difficult or dangerous! Help a neighbour by clearing walkways for seniors, those physically unable, or friends who are away. If you know a good neighbour, nominate him/her to receive the Mayor’s Good Neighbour Award. 31 IT’S A DOG-GONE SHAME! The Town of Fairview receives many calls from people who have lost their pets, as well as complaints of stray animals wandering the streets or trespassing on other’s property. The town’s bylaw control officer will pick them up and take them to the pound, but if the pets are not licensed, we have no means of identifying the owners. If unclaimed after 72 hours, and no adoption has taken place, the animals may be transferred to SPCA in Peace River or may be euthanized. This is a sad but necessary task, paid for by the taxpayers. The problem is easily rectified by purchasing an inexpensive pet license at the Town Office. It is critical that your pets wear identification. Is your dog gone? Call the Town Office immediately to see if it has been picked up. If looking to adopt an animal, call the Town Office to leave your name and number to be kept on our file. We get young, intelligent, beautiful and sometimes pedigree dogs and cats. If, on the other hand, you are not prepared to take on the responsibilities that go with pet ownership, leave it be. Animals require a lot of love, care and attention. Do not allow your animals to run at large, ever! That said, we have received reports of dogs being left on leashes day and night, sometimes without shelter, food or water. They are left in blistering sun in summer and freezing cold in the winter, laying in their own feces. Dogs are teased, tormented, abused and injured by their human “friends”. If you witness any type of animal abuse, please call the Town Office or the RCMP immediately. Animal cruelty has no place in Fairview! Don’t neglect your PETIQUETTE. You must not allow your pets to annoy neighbors. There is to be no barking whatsoever between the hours of 11:00 pm and 7:00 am, and no incessant barking any time of the day. If you own a cat/cats, the “kitty poo” must stay in your own yard. When walking your dog, be sure to take a plastic bag to “scoop poop” to be deposited in an appropriate garbage container. If you are walking your dog, it must be on a leash and you must have complete control so it does not attack or intimidate passers-by or other dogs. Pursuant to Bylaw 941/G/2009 an owner of an animal is guilty of an offence if: s THE ANIMAL IS NOT LICENSED s BARKING OR HOWLING DISTURBS OTHERS s THE ANIMAL CAUSES PROPERTY DAMAGE s THE ANIMAL IS IN AN AREA WHERE A SIGN PROHIBITS PETS s THE ANIMAL BITES ATTACKS BARKS AT OR THREATENS A PERSON OR ANIMAL s THE ANIMAL DEFECATES ON PROPERTY NOT BELONGING TO THE OWNER AND THE DEFECATION IS NOT IMMEDIATELY removed and disposed of in a sanitary manner s A FEMALE ANIMAL IN HEAT IS NOT KEPT HOUSED AND CONlNED IN A BUILDING OR KENNEL s .O PERSON SHALL UNTIE LOOSEN OR OTHERWISE FREE AN ANIMAL WHICH IS NOT IN DISTRESS IF YOU LOVE YOUR PETS, TAKE PROPER CARE OF THEM, OR GIVE THEM UP! 32 TM Fairview Beginner Class Grimshaw Thursdays 7-9 pm Beginner Class Basement of Fine Arts Center Tuesdays & Thursdays 7-8 pm Beginning Sept 6th Fall Classes Contact: 780-835-4642 beginning Oct. 6th The International Taoist Tai Chi Open House Spirit River Society has over 500 locations in Sept 29th 7-9 pm 27 countries.
