Feedback sought on animals in Lethbridge County hamlets
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Residents are invited to share their thoughts on whether or not to allow certain animals within hamlet boundaries in Lethbridge County.
The Animal Control Bylaw currently in effect does not allow for residents to keep any livestock or fowl in Lethbridge County hamlets, which include Fairview, Kipp, Monarch, Shaugnessy, Diamond City, Chin, Iron Springs, and Turin.
Council is asking hamlet residents and property owners if a small number of livestock or fowl should be permitted within hamlet boundaries. Citizens can share their thoughts via an online survey, or by calling 403-328-5525.
Council has passed first reading of an amended bylaw that would allow up to five animal units in hamlets, depending on the property’s size.
