With Canada Post having recently suspended service to a neighbourhood in the Seventh Avenue West area owing to concerns on dogs running at large, the City of Prince Rupert has taken to its Social Media feed to offer a reminder for residents as to their responsibilities as pet owners in the community.
A recent post on the City's Facebook page reminds residents that outside of designated off leash areas, dogs must not be allowed to run at large, noting how the city's Bylaw Officer has spent a fair bit of time of late addressing the issue of dogs in the community.
As a gentle nudge towards keeping our dogs on a leash, the city also reminds residents of the possibility of fines for those who do not follow the city's rules.
Included as part of the City's presentation is a video from Canada Post which highlights the issue of dogs and Posties, a narrative as old as mail delivery itself.
The City's bylaws and policies on Dogs contain fourteen pages of information for review, including the range of fees and fines that the City has in place when it comes to responsible dog ownership.
