Dog Etiquette

There are a few designated off-leash area within the city, please check out the website for more information. Remember to pick up your dog’s excrement on all trail heads, use the bags provided and place it in the receptacles. If you notice that the bag holder is empty contact the Animal Control Officer at 250-427-6460. Please be conscientious of everyone who uses the trails, as no one likes to step in dog poo! Let’s all pitch in to keep our trails clean and clear.
