š Big Change Coming to Christina Lake
Area C/Christina Lake is going solo on animal control services! š
After decades of sharing costs with Grand Forks, Greenwood, and Area D, Christina Lake will now run its own standalone service.
Why? All other partners have officially withdrawn from the shared service running since the 1970s.
šļø Original shared service started in 1976 with multiple communities
š Grand Forks, Greenwood, and Area D all formally withdrew
š¾ Only Christina Lake wants to continue animal control services
š Converting from shared service to standalone operation
š Requires new Bylaw No. 1912 with three council readings
š° What This Costs You
š Property taxes will cover annual costs (based on land/building values)
šµ Fees and charges may apply for specific services
š Dog licensing system will continue operating
š° What This Costs You
š¢ Service includes pounds, kennels, and animal facilities
š No longer sharing costs with other communities
Should Christina Lake proceed with its own standalone animal control service, or explore other alternatives like contracting with neighboring communities?
