The 2023 Smiths Falls by-law call numbers are in.
Animal control claimed top spot for most calls last year, with 164 of the 597 total service calls under that umbrella.
It overtook property standards calls and violations, which dropped to 112 from 221 in 2022.
Fire Chief Rick Chesebrough had a simple explanation as to why that was the case.
Parking infractions were the second most common calls, with 128.
