The CCRD is conducting an online survey about dogs.

On the CCRD website, it notes the CCRD has received complaints and concerns about dogs for a number of years.

“The Electoral Area E Director submitted a Notice of Motion to begin exploring regulating dogs after feedback from area residents,” states the website.

The board reviewed the motion and expanded the initial explorations to the whole valley area. The intent of the survey is to receive further feedback on dog interactions and initial views on how dog control regulations, if any, should be implemented within the valley.

This would be the first step of many, noted the CCRD, adding once the survey results come back, they will be reported to the board.

“Your input will to help inform decisions about how to move forward with a potential Dog Control Bylaw. If there is support from the community to move forward with a form of dog control, the cost associated with implementing a dog control bylaw would be explored and reported back to the Board and community.”

This feedback survey will be open until May 20, 2024.
