Highlights of the Regional Board Meeting – June 1, 2023.
The Regional Board received an update regarding the service agreement with the BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCA). For over 30 years the RDCO has been in a contractual partnership with BC SPCA. Under the current contract, the Kelowna SPCA Branch rehomes animals that end up in the care of Regional Dog Control staff and, with support of the RDCO Dog Licensing program, helps ensure pets are reunited with their families. The latest contract was updated in January 2022 to ensure that the service continues to meet the needs of the community.
