Councillor Hiller presented the following report:
On Saturday, October 21,1967 at 10.00 a.m. the Services Committee met to discuss the
proposed animal shelter on Industry St.
Present were Councillors Hiller and Buck, Mr. T,Hughes, General Manager, Ontario
Humane Society, Mr. Capes, Society Architect, Dr. Hull, Yottk County Branch,
Hrs. Hickson, Branch Secretary, Nrs. M. tJickson, Director, York County Branch,
Sup. Allan Jones, Ontario Staff, Hr. J. Van Rooyen, Hr. J. Kaarsemaker, and
Hr. G. Leec-e, residents of Hary Street
Hr,Hughes was asked by the Chairman to cxplai'l the many functions of the Society,
and to answer any questions >Jbi<ch might be put forward. Hr.Hughes then explained to
the group the aims of the Society, whytheywanted to build a shelter in Aurora
and that the building would be a great asset to the Community.
It ;muld have no outside runs, thus eliminating any noise what ·SO ever. It ~>IDuld
have a built in crematorium which would reduce any carcass to ashes, and would
not have any odour at all. The building would be constructed with· out •·Iindows,
except in the staff quarters and would install sky lights in the roof for lighting
purposes. C· ·-thirty shelters have been erected in Ontario • All of them designed
to blend in with the surrounding area. A buffer zone of trees will be kept intact
at the rear of the building not only as a means of obscuring the view of the
building from Hary St. but also to educate the youth of AT~Tora in identifying the
different species. The Humane Society is delighted to have school children visit
the shelters and learn of the service to the pu1lic.
Slides were shown of the shelter at Cooksville, how ever it was emphasized that the
shelter to be erected in Aurora would be a different design. Hr. Capes showed the
group architectural drawings, which were discussed.
The delegation of home owners from Mary St. were quite impressed by the way in
which everything was peoperly explained to the~ and all agreed that they no longer
apposed the animal shelter. They also thanked the Eumane Society for taking the tLme
to come to Aurora and explain the shelter to them. The Services Committee was. also
commended for calling the meeting and h~ving both sides to-gether to reach an
understanding.
Councillor Miller reported that he had several complaints from residents about the
lack ofpatrols to control dogs at large. Hr.Hughes of the Humane Society has agreed
that if the motion for the an:iJmal shelter is passed, he ;JOuld provide for canine
patrols starting on November 1,1967 at an additional cost of 15 cents per capita.
