Sure its pet frendly, but its also a drug filled town. It was Canada's worst town to live in for about 10-20 yrs. It had the highest crime rate in all of canada & it was almost a dead town. the population was only 9,000. Sad eh? But its cleaned up with this new younger mayor, its off the worst list & it looks like a town again. Luckly its remained a pet friendly town. during the simmer time, there r soooooooo many dogs every where. Max & I use to love going for walks & meeting new dogs & hid doggie friends.
