The Municipality of Chatham-Kent has prepared a draft bylaw regarding the keeping of backyard chickens and is now looking for public input.
Comments can be made online until Sept. 19, by way of a public survey on the municipality’s Let’s Talk CK page.
An in-person public engagement session will also be held Sept. 19 at the Ken Houston Memorial and Agricultural Centre in Dresden.
The session begins at 6 p.m. and will be live-streamed on the municipality’s Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Results from both initiatives will be compiled and presented to council to be incorporated into the bylaw’s official approval this fall.
