Title
Dog Waste in Regional Parks
Recommendation
That the Regional Parks Committee recommend to the Capital Regional District Board:
1. That no dog-waste bags be supplied in regional parks or trails. (The one existing dog-waste bag dispenser at the Governor General Field in Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park would be removed after public notice is given.)
2. That compliance with the existing Regional Parks’ bylaw be encouraged through increased education of dog owners by providing information on social media, on the CRD website and on park signage, and additional bylaw enforcement efforts focused on dog owners as proposed in the Regional Parks 2018 budget; and
3. That staff be directed to report back to the Committee with amendments to update current dog regulations and to increase the fine for “dog faeces not removed.”
