Morris-Turnberry approves animal control policy By Denny Scott The Citizen Morris-Turnberry Council approved a policy that will be attached to its animal control bylaw to handle wild animals throughout the municipality. Called "Animal Control for Sick Animals", the policy came about after council had dismissed a policy specifically for dealing with sick cats. The new policy refers to the control of cats, which will allow animals at large to be seized, and also has rules for how a sick animal can be disposed of. Council had received significant feedback on the issue prior to the meeting, however it was all focused on the elimination of cats, which was not part of the policy and which council had dismissed during an earlier meeting. Councillor Dorothy Kelly said she had been in contact with ratepayers who were interested in having council work with local shelters to provide homes and humane care for the animals, however other councillors felt that was something the shelters could handle on their own. "We've already talked about the cat bylaw issue and we're not going to have one," Councillor John Smuck said. "This is about sick animals. This is about the way we're getting rid of them. It's BMO donates to WHF campaign A big commitment The Bank of Montreal (BMO) is the latest to jump aboard the Wingham Hospital Foundation's Our Hospital, Our Future campaign, which has ambitious fundraising goals for aggressive expansion and improvements to the hospital. The donation was made as part of the annual CKNX Radiothon.

(Photo submitted) Bank of Montreal (BMO) has pledged to contribute $40,000 to the Wingham & District Hospital Foundation over the next four years to support the major redevelopment project. With branches in Wingham, Lucknow, Mildmay and Teeswater, Bank of Montreal has a presence throughout much of the Wingham & District Hospital's service area. Their clients and staff are the same people who will benefit from the improvements to the hospital facility and services. Representatives from BMO attended the 15th Annual CKNX Healthcare Heroes Radiothon on May 12 to present their donation to the Wingham & District Hospital Foundation. All donations to the WDH Foundation made during the Radiothon also went towards the $4 million Our Hospital, Our Future campaign goal. Regional VP of Personal Banking Cheri Knott said, "BMO has a long history of being an active participant in the communities it serves and we are pleased to be able to continue that tradition with this pledge to the Wingham Hospital." Campaign Chair Mark Foxton also extended special thanks to BMO Southwestern Ontario Commercial Account Manager Byron Henderson for his support in making this important donation a reality. Major donations such as the one Continued on page 18 not a cat bylaw and we're not talking about feral cats. I think we're on two different pages with the public as far as what's going on." Kelly asked how the current animal control officer Bob Trick would determine the health of an animal. "Wouldn't he have to take it to a vet? Wouldn't there be repercussions if he didn't?" she asked. Mayor Paul Gowing said said that in cases dealing with an ill animal, the issue would be visible, such as the side effects of distemper or rabies. However, Kelly still felt the issue wasn't resolved as, if the animal was a pet, there could be debate or legal action from the owner regarding the health of the animal. Kelly went on to say that Trick, an experienced animal control officer for several municipalities, wasn't qualified to determine if an animal needed to go to the vet. Gowing said many animals, including foxes and raccoons, have to be taken to vets after they are disposed of to make sure they weren't carrying contagious diseases. After some discussion, council passed the policy, with several councillors commenting that this isn't about cats but about a broader policy. BRUSSELS LIVESTOCK Division of Gamble & Rogers Ltd.
