Fence Viewers
When neighbours cannot agree on the construction, reconstruction or maintenance of a fence, the Line Fences Act governs the arbitration process if necessary. This provincial law allows for three municipally appointed fence viewers to examine the land in question and hear submissions from the adjoining owners and/or their witnesses.
Livestock Valuers
The Ontario Wildlife Damage Compensation Program (OWDCP), administered by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), provides compensation to eligible applicants whose livestock and/or poultry have been injured or killed as a result of wildlife. This program requires municipalities to appoint a Livestock Investigator to investigate incidents of livestock and/or poultry damage that have been reported to the Clerk of the Municipality. Livestock Investigators play a key role in this program, therefore must have a thorough understanding of the program and be available to investigate the claim within three business days of having been notified.
