After 55 years, Saskatoon’s SPCA will no longer be the city’s pound.
The City of Saskatoon said they signed a new contract with Saskatoon Animal Control Agency (SACA) to take over enforcement and pound keeping.
SACA won the contract based on criteria such as “strategy, experience and qualifications,” a City of Saskatoon news release said.
“The contracts for Bylaw Enforcement and Pound keeping Services have been awarded to SACA who satisfied the mandatory requirements with the lowest cost to the city,” the release said.
SACA’s contract is for four years, with an option to extend the agreement for two additional terms.
“There will be no interruption in service to the public or animals in need of Poundkeeping Services,” the release said.
The SPCA announced on Facebook that it would continue to act as an animal pound for the rest of this year.
