Dog conflicts

City steps in as dog conflicts on the rise at Ginters

Dec 3, 2021 | 3:28 PM

PRINCE GEORGE – A series of conflicts involving dogs at the city’s largest off-leash area has the city’s Bylaw Services Department stepping up its patrols in the area.

The city confirms conflicts have been rising at Ginter’s Meadow- especially in recent months. CKPG News went to the park today, and it’s easy to see why the extra patrols are necessary as the paved pathway was packed with owners and their pooches.

The city’s Animal Control Department says a big part of the problem is owners losing control of their animals. The solution? Put them on a leash. Otherwise, a ticket will be issued.

If you find your dog does not behave within an off-leash park, there are on-leash parks within the city to take your animal instead. For example, Cottonwood Island Park and Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park.
