The deadline to get your 2024 dog tag is this week.

The deadline is Sunday, March 31st to avoid a $10 late fee.

A municipal dog tag is required for all dogs over the age of four (4) months. If your dog is lost or injured, a tag helps get in touch with you. Licensed puppies are more likely to be returned home if they wander off.

Tags can be ordered online through the Pet and Wildlife Rescue at PAWR.org or at any Municipal Office, by mail or over the phone.

There is one less U.S. lottery jackpot up for grabs. After last night’s Mega Millions draw, there is one winning ticket.

A ticket holder in New Jersey is $1.13 billion richer. The holder could opt for the full jackpot in annual payments or take an estimated $537.5 million lump-sum payment.

The Powerball jackpot is now up to $865 million after there was no winner in Monday’s drawing.

The next draw is tonight. Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

**Reminder: There are no restrictions that prohibit Canadians from playing the Powerball lottery. Be aware and very careful of websites offering to sell to Canadians.
