Puslinch Residents Concerned About Gun Club Noise
Some residents want council’s help regulating the “excessive” shooting sounds created by a neighbouring shooting club for the sake of their mental health.
Delegating during a Puslinch council meeting Wednesday, neighbours of the Galt Sportsmens Club on Gore Road Olinda Dasilva and Scott Bartles have asked councillors to help create a regulatory bylaw to mitigate the shooting noise at the club’s gun range.
Calling the current noise levels “unbearable,” Dasilva said the noise pollution wasn’t as intrusive or frequent when she moved to the property in 2007 but the “exponential growth” of the club and its hours of operation over the last number of years is “causing anxiety and emotional distress” to her and her family.
