Bill Bruce joined the City of Calgary in 1981 in the Traffic Engineering Department where a great deal of his work was focused on traffic safety, regulations and truck and dangerous goods movement and regulation. Bill also served a two year term as assistant to the City Commissioners office before joining Animal and Bylaw Services in 2000.

Bill came into the Animal and Bylaw area with a vision of moving the focus from enforcement to a broader goal of achieving and maintaining compliance to the City’s bylaws, utilizing tools such as clear, understandable bylaws and policies, partnerships, conflict resolution techniques and public education to raise awareness and improve voluntary compliance. The areas of priority have been activities that effect public health and safety, protection of the environment and protection of municipal infrastructure. Bill believes that the municipality’s bylaws must reflect the standards of the community and that service should be delivered in partnership with communities, business groups, other agencies and city departments. In the Animal Services area the focus has been to create a community of responsible pet owners in collaboration with all of the groups involved with animals in the community with specific goals to reduce the number or aggressive incidents involving dogs, increase the return to owner rates for both dogs and cats, reduce euthanasia and work towards becoming a no more homeless pets municipality.

Bill is a believer in continuous improvement and is committed to improving the quality of life in the community for both people and animals.
