It's no yolk. Michele Rule wants to talk chickens. The Kelowna City Councillor served notice Monday she would introduce a motion next week aimed at making it legal for residents to keep chickens in their backyard. "I have been in touch with elected officials in other communities who either have or are considering similar bylaws," says Rule. "I will have information as to what the other bylaws look like." Nanaimo and Surrey are two communities in the province which allow its citizens to own chickens within City limits. Vancouver and Vernon are looking at drafting similar bylaws. Presently in Kelowna, people are allowed to own chickens only if they have a half acre of property or more and have received special zoning.
