Dogs in Parks

Are you and your pup up to snuff on your park etiquette? The PAWS acronym makes CRD regional parks bylaws and pet etiquette easy to understand and remember:

  • Protect nature by keeping your dog away from wildlife and sensitive areas - stay on trail.
  • Always respect others who might not welcome your dog’s attention.
