The BC SPCA has been contracted by the City of Maple Ridge to provide animal control to the community since 2010; however, a recent service change means the City of Maple Ridge has assumed responsibility for these services, with the exception of kennelling services which will continue to be provided by the BC SPCA, effective immediately.
Starting June 25, 2024, members of the public should call the City of Maple Ridge at 604-467-7305 for:
