"service levels"

The committee will discuss and provide a recommendation regarding the service levels for dog wardens, which impacts animal control and public safety in parks and community spaces.

The Commission recommended that the municipal council approve a modified reference framework for dog parks. The changes address the need for more off-leash areas, establish a 100-meter buffer zone between dog parks and residences, and define a clearer public consultation process. The city aims to balance the needs of dog owners with other park users while managing costs, which range from $50,000 to $100,000 per park.
