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.

Turtle Lake Hamlets Property Tax Allotment Concerns

    Turtle Lake Organized Hamlets Have Concerns About Annual Property Tax Allotment and Request to Meet With RM of Mervin


    9 of the TurtleLake Organized Hamlets have requested by letter, to the RM of Mervin to meet regarding the RMs proposed municipal percentage Property Tax allotment.

    Hamlets are looking for clarity regarding the process, calculation and identified services the RM has used to arrive at these allocations.


    As per the Municipalities Act the Percentage of the Organized Hamlet’s share of the annual property tax allotment can range from 40 to 75% depending on services supplied by the RM. Historically the RM of Mervin has assigned that the various Organized Hamlets within Mervin will receive 40%, the minimum allocation allowable.
