Should Toronto Parks Have Off-Leash Hours For Dogs? Take The City Of Toronto Survey & Have Your Say

On November 9, 2012, the Parks and Environment Committee requested that Parks, Forestry and Recreation, in consultation with Municipal Licencing & Standards, investigate the feasibility of enacting off-leash hours in parks within the City of Toronto and report back to Parks and Environment Committee.

 

As a result, the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division is conducting public opinion research on the issue of enacting dogs off-leash courtesy hours in City of Toronto parks.

All residents of the City of Toronto are invited to participate in the survey which should take approximately 5-7 minutes to complete.  The online survey provides residents with an opportunity to provide their input regarding dogs off-leash areas and proposed amendments to the People, Parks and Dogs Off Leash Policy in a confidential and safe manner.  

Please feel free to share the survey link with City of Toronto residents. The survey closes on May 31, 2013.
