Responsible pet ownership

A friendly reminder to please clean up after your dog. Pet litter is a significant health concern and is an unsightly mess in our natural areas, parks and along our pathways.

The Town receives many complaints from concerned citizens that pet owners are walking away instead of picking up after their pets. Please help us keep our community clean by cleaning up after your pet.
