Pet Control
It is important to note that not everyone feels comfortable around animals, and some pets may also not be comfortable with other animals. Due to concerns raised with the Hamlet Board regarding pets, residents are reminded of the following:
   •    Pets must be under the owner’s control at all times. This means that while walking a pet, it should be on a leash and under supervision. If in the yard, pets should not approach people passing by.
   •    Pets must remain within the owner's yard and should not roam freely through the Hamlet.
   •    Dogs are not allowed on the beach, including both grass and sand areas. If renting a cabin or having guests, it is the owner's responsibility to inform them of this rule.
   •    Animal waste must be picked up and disposed of in the garbage. It should not be discarded in the flower boxes throughout the Hamlet.
The attached Animal Control Bylaw from the RM of Mervin outlines the rules regarding pets and the penalties for not following the bylaws.

Hamlets Meet With RM of Mervin to Discuss Tax Allocation

    Recently eight of Turtle Lake's Organized Hamlets (OH) met with the RM of Mervin's Council.(Rhonda Bartlett was the SSVB Representative)

    At the conclusion of the meeting it was agreed that:

    • Improved communications was essential to improve the current relationships

    • It was suggested that two annual meetings be held exclusively between the OHs and the RM.

    • It was proposed that a 6 person committee be struck (3 OH members and 3 RM) to review the Municipal Tax Allocation percentage calculation and establish a baseline for going forward

    • It was agreed that the other Organized Hamlets within the RM of Mervin not present be approached and brought up to speed

    • Additional discussions between OH Members felt it critical that the OH Board Members meet ASAP to establish connections, review the above items, and gather any additional questions or points to be brought forward to the RM.

    More to come!
