Kennel licences

A kennel licence is required if you wish to operate a boarding or breeding kennel in the Municipality. The property must also be zoned to permit a kennel. You must reapply for a dog kennel licence every year as they expire annually per By-law 34-2015 (as amended).

Apply for a kennel licence with an application form obtained from the Municipality and payment of an application fee of $150.00. An annual inspection of the kennel is required. More information is available from staff.
