Bylaw Amendment: Household pet limits *UPDATE*

Results to a survey requesting feedback on a proposed household pet limit bylaw amendment for the City of Calgary were made available by councillor Diane Colley-Urquart last week. 

Earlier this month, Colley-Urquart posted a short survey to her professional blog asking whether or not limits on the number of household pets should be implemented and what that limit should be. She received over 1,300 responses and noted that, "while this poll was by no means scientific, the level of engagement on my blog and survey was impressive and shows how much Calgarians care about their pets." 

To summarize, survey 67% of participants responded that there should be no limit to the maximum number of dogs allowed in a single family home. Sixty-five percent of participants responded there should be no limit to the number of cats allowed. 

Colley-Urquart presented her notice of motion to Calgary city councillors during the regular meeting of council Monday, May 26, 2014.
