New Westminster city council is establishing a task force to dig into details about a new animal shelter and tow yard.
The animal shelter task force will investigate and review future facility requirements and service delivery options for the city’s animal service and tow yard functions. The existing facility at 231 Ewen Ave. is home to the city’s animal shelter and towing operation.
According to a staff report, the land that the existing facility is located on will be redeveloped within the next two to three years so the task force’s recommendations are required by Sept. 30, 2015. The task force will include members of city council, city staff, the Royal City Humane Society and community members.
