Off-leash dogs under owner control currently allowed in parks; new policy would limit off-leash to designated areas
Saanich council will look at requiring dogs in parks to be leashed at all times except in designated areas or fenced dog parks.
The district is recommending a 1.5-kilometre trail loop within PKOLS and a four-hectare fenced area with trails in Cuthbert Holmes Park. It is also recommending that Cordova Bay Beach be off-leash year round. The lists of parks and maps can be found on the district’s website, saanich.ca. Feedback on the draft recommendations can be made online until midnight June 11. The final draft will be presented to council on June 26.“It’s ridiculous,” Eulala Mills, a member of the Facebook group Happy Dogs in Saanich Parks, said Tuesday. “People are incredibly disappointed. It looks like they’re taking away 90 per cent, maybe even more, of the off-leash space.”
At PKOLS, unleashed dogs can run on 20 kilometres of trails. Setting aside a 1.5-kilometre loop means they are losing 93 per cent of the trails, said Mills.“It’s really a dog-friendly city. There are so many people with dogs who come here. I never see any bad interactions and it’s really important for her. I just don’t see the problem,” said Sheehy.
