Current Recruitment:

FENCE VIEWERS AND LIVESTOCK EVALUATORS
Closes Friday, July 26, 2019 at 4:00 pm

The Town of Grand Valley is accepting applications for appointment to the positions of Fence Viewers (3 vacancies) and Livestock Evaluators (1 back-up vacancy).

The Line Fences Act provides a procedure, administered by the local municipality, for resolving line fence disputes between adjoining properties. Line fence disputes may be arbitrated by fence viewers when the owners are unable to reach an agreement when a new line fence is to be constructed or an existing line fence is to be reconstructed or repaired. Fence viewers will only meet when required and will not have a set meeting schedule.

The Ontario Wildlife Damage Compensation Program provides a procedure, administered by the local municipality, for receiving and processing applications for financial assistance to owners whose livestock, poultry and/or honeybees have been damaged or killed by wildlife. Livestock Evaluators (investigators) carry out the investigation about the injury or death and submit the required documentation to the municipality so the application can be submitted to OMAFRA. The Town is recruiting one (1) Evaluator to serve as back-up to the current appointee.

The Term of Office for both positions is concurrent with the Term of Council, or as otherwise determined by Council.

Compensation for these positions is paid on a per-application basis, as determined by Council.

Anyone interested in serving either or both positions should apply in writing to the undersigned, providing a letter of interest which states their applicable background and experience. Applications must be received no later than 4:00 p.m., Friday, July 26, 2019.

Please forward applications marked CONFIDENTIAL, stating the position for which you are applying, by email, mail or personal delivery to:
