It's good news for dog owners. The Municipality of Lunenburg voted in favour of eliminating a yearly dog tax and are allowing a one time tag purchase for the life of a dog. However, councillor Lee Nauss says the move doesn't make sense. "I think we are going way back and there's no way I could support this because it's a backwards step," Council agreed the dog tag purchase would be implemented as a voluntary system. The existing by-law will now be amended and a communication strategy will be developed to inform the public of the change.
