The city is reminding pet owners that sheltering or keeping animals or birds that persistently cry, squawk, bark or howl is prohibited and are considered a source of noise pollution.
Regulations are in place to ensure residents can enjoy peace and quiet in their neighbourhoods and are enforced by the city on a per complaint basis.
