The situation we are currently experiencing has underlined many challenges and opportunities in our community. As we will continue to stay local, the lack of easily accessible outdoor public space, will continue to be a civic challenge.

I wish to disagree with the advocate in your article B次元官网网址淎dvocate makes case for backyard chickens in SidneyB次元官网网址� on two matters. First, I can affirm that chickens do attract rats and make noise. My neighbours have chickens and are fastidious about keeping their coop clean.
