The new by-law regulating dogs in Cote Saint-Luc was adopted by council on June 11 by a 7-1 vote. As the councillor responsible for Animal Protection I pledged to work towards permitting dogs on leashes in most parks. A Dog Owners Committee was established in January and the individuals part of that group played an important role in the realization of this legislation.
In particular the new by-law requires that dogs must be on a leash and held at all time and owners must pick up their dog's droppings or face fines. Dogs are now allowed in certain parks with the following provisions: they cannot be within nine meters of a playground or splash pad nor on the premises of a public pool, wading pool or on any sports field or in Veteran's Park.
Below are the parks where dogs on leashes will be permitted by the week of June 18. Special new signage is being prepared. Thanks to CSL Public Safety Director (and dog owner) Jordy Reichson for all of his hard work.
