The city and county have hired their first pound keeper under their new joint regional animal pound operating agreement. Jamila King is in the midst of finalizing a Bachelor of Science degree at Grande Prairie Regional College, specializing in pre-veterinary studies. She has also volunteered in the past as an animal care attendant at the SPCA. Besides carrying out day to day operations of the regional pound, King’s duties include serving as a liaison between the city and county, and the Grande Prairie and District SPCA – who operates the pound for both municipalities.
