Be a responsible dog owner

It is important to register your dog every year as part of being a responsible dog owner. Dog registration provides safety and security for dogs, owners and the community.

Have your ownership details changed? We encourage all dog owners to notify us of any changes in their dog ownership status; change of owner contact or dog details, a change in the number of dogs kept on a premise, or advising a change of dog ownership.

All dogs must be kept under the control of their owner. Adequate fencing, a kennel or running wire are some of the ways you can keep your dog secure on your property.

Don’t make your dogs mess someone else’s problem. The Dog Control Bylaw requires all dog owners to appropriately dispose of any droppings left by the dog in a public place. Bag it and bin it, or risk a $300 fine.
