Dog Incinerator
The S.P.C.A.

have been pressuring us for some time to assist in establishing

some proper method for dog disposal. Dogs at one time were buried in the

old City

dup on Welcher Street and when this dump was closed down the animals

were hauled to the Terra Nova Land Fill oreration.

The operators of Terra Nova

eventually refused to

accept these animals and to provide a temporary solution

the animals were hauled to the Port Moody dump. This arrangement was only to

be temporary and Port Moedy have recently had to stop accepting these animals,
