We, the undersigned, urge Sue Stultz, Minister of Social Development for the Province of New Brunswick, to take the following actions:
(1) Instruct NBHA (New Bruswick Housing Authority) to immediately cease eviction action against seniors in NBHA housing based on their ownership of small, well-managed pets.
(2) Instruct NBHA to treat companion animals that are required, as attested to by a physician, for the emotional and mental health of a patient who is an NBHA housing resident in the same manner as a service animal required for a person with a physical disability.
(3) Instruct NBHA to immediately undertake a revision of their pet policy, setting up reasonable guidelines to permit those in NBHA facilities to harbour, enjoy and benefit from owning a pet.
We are approaching the one hundred signature threshold to finalize the formal briefing for Minister Stultz. Securing these final signatures now will ensure our document holds necessary weight when we submit our petition to the Department of Social Development.

My cat is the only family I have left. Kicking seniors out because of a pet is completely heartless.

This rule makes zero sense. Fix it now.

I have seen how much a pet helps a senior stay active and happy. This change is long overdue.

Let them keep their animals. They aren't hurting anyone.

Ridiculous policy. Most of these people are elderly and alone and need their pets for company. Leave them alone.

SHAME ON NBHA. Pets help with depression so much. My mom would be lost without her dog.
