Brenda Reid. Mayor of Assiginack

Due to the increased presence of dogs running at large in the community, animal control will be increasing the patrols.
If your dog is picked up it will be taken directly to the pound located on the other side of Mindemoya.
You may have to pay fines in excess of $200 to get your dog back.
Please keep your pet tied to avoid this situation.

We are expecting heavy snowfall starting the evening of Friday January 12th into Saturday.
Please ensure you are prepared. Stay home when possible. Ensure you do not park on roads overnight.

Please make sure that you have appropriate cell numbers in case you have to contact someone. Also, remember that if cell phone calls cannot be made due to the system being overloaded, there is still a chance that text messages can be sent.

The municipality appreciates your patience and stay safe this weekend.
