On September 19, Pickering Council voted 6 to 1 (Peter Rodrigues as the lone non-supporting vote) to draft a bylaw to ban shark fin products in Pickering. The Council will be voting on the bylaw at the end of October. Pickering could be the second municipality in Canada to ban shark fins (the first being Brantford). Toronto, Mississauga and Oakville are also looking at the issue.
Great work Pickering. Thanks for taking leadership to protect sharks, our oceans and our planet.
