Spring Time Animal Reminder

With spring here and the snow melting rapidly, the City of Iqaluit would like to remind residents of their responsibilities under By-Law 924, the Domesticated Animal By-Law.

Residents are required by the By-Law to clean up their dog’s feces, whether it is located on their own property or elsewhere. While walking a dog, you are required to carry something capable of collecting your dog’s feces (i.e. pet waste bags).

Caution During Spring Melt

With spring weather conditions upon us, the City of Iqaluit would like to remind residents of some of the dangers melting conditions can cause, especially for the younger members of our community.

Ditches that were covered with snow –and safe to walk over just a few days ago- can now be hollow underneath due to flowing melt water. For an adult, getting stuck waist deep in a ditch is an annoyance. For small children, it can be quite dangerous.
