Garbage

By: Nick Liard

After much debate city council has voted to suspend a change in the garbage bylaw that would have taken effect tomorrow.

The changes to the Waste By-law would have meant you couldn’t put out garbage until the morning of collection no earlier than 5 am, and no later than 7 am.

The goal was to reduce the number of human-bear interactions.

But after receiving a number of concerned calls, council voted to put the hold on the by-law giving staff more time to come up with options.
