Help!! Advice Needed Asap

[herpers2]

Hello everyone. We really need some advice. We purchased a home in Elliot Lake, located in northern ontario. We moved into a condo corporation, a townhouse (Big mistake). Before we bought our home, we made sure there were no restrictions on keeping reptiles, and there was not any by-laws against keeping reptiles in the corporation, or in the city of Elliot Lake. We had been living in our home for about a month, and our neighbour right across from us was looking through her second floor window into ours, and saw some of our cages. Among other things there was a petition passed around to enact a by-law against the keeping of reptiles, and we did not find out of this petition until a meeting was held to discuss the issue. Apparently everyone else in our condo corp, (which has about 100 homes) was shown it but us.
At this meeting we agreed to remove our animals, but we would have to wait until the weather warmed up to do it (around May). They refused, and voted against us keeping our reptiles, and a by-law was enacted by the CONDO CORP.The city of Elliot Lake passed a by-law about 2 weeks later. We were told that the Grandfathering Law would be upheld by the city, but the condo corp says we would NOT be covered under the Grandfather Act. They have now given us until Febuary 4th to get them out. Our weather here is freezing, and to transport our reptiles in this cold would mean they will, if not die, become sick. We tried to explain that it was too cold to move them at the meeting, but they refused to listen. We have gravid snakes at home. We also have 2 big dogs at home, whom the neighbors next door obviously do not like. We have had, on numerous occasions complaints about them. We have contacted a lawyer who has told us that the only thing he could do is buy us time. Does anyone have some advice, legal or not? It would be greatly appreciated to hear from you on this matter. Thank you for reading, Kristy and Frank
