Pet Control

It is imprtant to be mindful that not all people are comfortable around animals or that other peoples pets are not always comfortable with other animals.

Because there have been concerns brought forward to the Hamlet Board regarding pets we want to remind residents of the following:

Your pet must be in your control at all times - this would mean while walking your pet it is on a leash under your control or if in your yard pets are not running out at people walking byYour pet must be contained in your yard and not running at large through the Hamlet

There are no dogs allowed on the beach. This includes both the grass and sand areas. If you are renting your cabin or have guests it is your responsibility to make guests aware of this rule.

Resort Village of Turtle View Amalgamation Analysis and Review Committee Update Sept. 23 /24

The Committee to analyze and review the potential of an amalgamation with the Resort Village of Turtle View was kicked off this past week.

5 areas of analysis were identified to create a clear picture for SSVB residents that will be fact based for you to make an informed decision on yes or no to amalgamation.

An objective for the review was agreed upon.

Committee members were assigned to lead each area of analysis.

Committee to meet later in October to share our findings and determine next steps in the analysis.

We will update our progress to you as we complete the process.

The committee is committed to ensuring you have clear information for you to make the best decision for the SSVB community and not based on opinion or biases.

Committee Objective

Making the transition to join another municipality should not be taken lightly or allow personal bias to influence decisions.

To shed personal bias and the minimizing of the impacts of an amalgamation with Turtle View Resort Village, a list of areas of impact will be created.
The areas of impact will be individually addressed from a financial and functional perspective (wherever possible) to provide the decision makers the best possible insights.
When a final decision is made on amalgamation or to remain status quo, the decision will be an informed one.
Every effort will be taken to ensure the information provided is fact based to minimize speculation.
