City looking for ways to deter thefts of catalytic converters
With catalytic converter thefts on the rise, the City of North Battleford is looking at ways to possibly fine people who are found with one illegally in their possession.
Council approved the administration’s proposal to draft a proposed bylaw amendment related to establishing catalytic converter permits at its meeting Monday.
The city hopes the bylaw might help deter thefts of catalytic converters in the future.
City Planner Ryan Mackrell discussed the proposal for the licensing bylaw amendment for catalytic converter permits in his presentation. He said administration has been working with the RCMP on the issue. It has also been in contact with the City of Leduc.
