Updates from the Village Office
Thank you to those individuals who continue to maintain their property on a regular basis.
As we prepare to begin the inspection of properties within the Village, we would like to bring to your attention the following:
Under the Nuisance Bylaw (Bylaw No.2.2026), property owners and occupants are required to ensure they carry out the provisions of this bylaw, which includes:
Removal of junked vehicles, removal of any open excavations, maintenance of yards(infestation of rodents, vermin or insects, dead or hazardous trees, sharp or dangerous objects, garbage and junk, junked vehicles or machinery, excessive growth of weeds or grass, holes and excavations that could cause an incident), maintain to the standards as outlined in this bylaw of all buildings.
The Village of Shell Lake representatives will, prior to taking remedial action under this Bylaw, send a friendly reminder letter to all affected properties. Any further letter(s) will involve a Notice of Contravention being sent by registered mail to all property owners that do not take the necessary actions.
Failure to comply with a Notice of Contravention may result in the Village or its agent completing the work. Any expenses incurred by the Village will be added to the tax roll for the lands.
Village representatives will be starting this process next week.
Have a great summer!

**Just a friendly reminder that all dogs are to be on leash/and or restrained on their owner’s property. As the snow melts the evidence is visible that not all dogs are staying home. Please cleanup after your pets. The Village office has received concerns in regards to pets running loose and leaving unwanted “presents”. Thank you for your help in addressing this issue.
**Please ensure that your garbage is contained in a proper receptacle for Tuesday garbage day. The ravens are helping themselves to the garbage bags left out in advance of collection day, which is creating quite a mess. .After Hours Emergency: Please contact Greg Ardagh @306-883-8051
