Subject
BY-LAW NUMBER 235-76
- A by-law to regulate the
keeping of animals and
birds, etc.,
Our File No. 37
Further to our conversation of Friday's date, this is
to advise you that a recent review of the above noted by-law
brought to my attention the fact that paragraph 1 of the
by-law would appear to be improperly worded and it would
seem that at the time the by-law was prepared, certain words
were accidentally omitted from paragraph 1. I believe the
paragraph should read as follows:
"That no person shall within the City of Brampton, in
the area set out in Schedule "A" attached hereto, keep
any domestic fowl, cattle, goats, sheep, swine, mink,
foxes, poisonous reptiles, cats other than those of the
felis domestica species, or any other animals, except
dogs (By-law 87-74) except in accordance with the
provisions of this By-law."
I also note in the last line of paragraph 3, sub-paragraph
(a) the word "or" is used and it would appear the correct word
should have been "of".
I thought it appropriate to bring these matters to your
attention and perhaps consideration could be given to amending
the particular paragraphs of the by-law at some appropriate
time or perhaps when other amendments are being processed.
