Three more named to animal welfare board

The province has appointed three more members to the Animal Welfare Review Board.

It deals with appeals filed by those who are aggrieved by inspections that result in the seizure of livestock, poultry or pets or compliance orders because of deemed abuse.


The three are lawyers and they join a long list of other lawyers on the 34-member board.


The three are Debra Backstein and Tassia Poynter of Toronto and Robert Dowhan of Guelph. Their appointments are for three-year terms.
