What you need to know:
- 2 Montreal Boroughs have cancelled their contract with the Berger Blanc: NDG and The Plateau
- Individual Boroughs need to make the decision to sever ties with Berger Blanc, so please contact your Borough Mayor’s Office
- A petition of The People vs Berger Blanc
- A petition that goes to the National Assembly, urging standardized animal control in Quebec
- You can attend a public meeting at City Hall on Monday – where Project Montreal will propose that the city create a committee to examine how animal policies can be improved
- Louise Harel, leader of Vision Montreal (the City’s opposition party) wants Montreal to create its own animal control agency (like Toronto and Calgary have done)
- Mayor Gerald Tremblay isn’t keen on the idea – he says it would cost $5 mill/year – and we just don’t have the money
- Bottom line: BB must close BUT logistically, there needs to be a replacement facility once that happens. So – showing City Hall that you want Montreal to have it’s OWN animal control operation is key. No more contracting out to private ‘for-profit’ organizations like the Berger Blanc. Which brings us to:
- The next protest is THIS FRIDAY, outside of City Hall: 5:30pm -7pm, 125 rue Notre-Dame Est (Metro: Champ-de-Mars)
