Dear Editor:
It appears the District of North Vancouver is looking at potential changes to the animal welfare services it offers. The district has run an animal shelter since 2002, but it seems the current shelter will be closing sometime in the near future.
The district website informs us that a new, smaller shelter will be included in a new vet clinic that is proposed to be built on the old Capilano vet hospital site. The project is in a development permit stage.
There is a public information meeting on the project on Friday, Sept. 23, 7 p.m. at the Capilano library, 3045 Highland Blvd., North Vancouver.
All of those district residents who care about the fate of stray and abandoned animals, those who cannot defend themselves, please come to the meeting to make sure the district will continue to offer animal welfare, not mere animal control, in the future as well. The animals in our community are counting on you.
Willow Penno
North Vancouver
