Owning a pet has many proven health benefits including physical, mental and emotional improvements for the owner; however, pet ownership also comes with much responsibility.
The Dog Enforcement Bylaw regulates many aspects of dog ownership and certain responsibilities of dog owners; it also helps Municipal Enforcement work with pet owners to ensure that dogs, cats, their owners, and the neighbors live together harmoniously and safely.
Owning a dog comes with responsibilities, and one of the most important is cleaning up after your pet!
Failure to pick up your dog’s waste can result in a fine under Animal Control Bylaw No. 02-2025.
Not only is it a bylaw, but cleaning up after your pet keeps our community clean and enjoyable for everyone. Please be a responsible pet owner—carry bags, pick up after your dog, and dispose of waste properly.
