Angie Simpson spoke to Council last night about a letter she wrote to the city regarding the dog bylaw.  Since she was severely injured in a dog attack she questions the definition of a dangerous dog and the handling of dogs that are deemed dangerous saying often after being bitten the victim has less rights that the dog.  She asked Council to take the bylaw and discuss it with the community through a public consultation process and come up with a bylaw that will clearly define what is and how to deal with a dangerous dog.  Council referred the matter to their Committee of the Whole to decide how to proceed with the request.

In another matter following a presentation at their last meeting Council has agreed to support the formation of Red Cross Personal Disaster Assistance Teams in Flin Flon and will encourage the Fire Department and Emergency Services to assist the teams when they’re available to do so.  The teams are made up of local people who can provide assistance to individuals or families following a disaster such as a home fire.
