After extensive deliberation, Manager of Operations for Public Safety Jean-Marc Dubois has almost completed a series of extensive amendments to the Côte Saint-Luc by-law concerning the regulation of dogs.

As the city councillor responsible for Animal Protection I want to thank Jean-Marc, who is a dog owner himself, for his dedication to this file. Before we adopt the updated by-law before the end of 2024 this is an opportunity for dog owners to provide feedback at a virtual information meeting. We will discuss issues such as  increases in fines abandoned canines, dangerous dogs, the number of dogs permitted by one owner, prohibited leashes, new dog run rules and more.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to Jonathan Goldman and Anna Katz for their leadership on our Dog Owners Committee. A shout out as well to Tamar Hertz, who as a non-dog owner has provided a much needed perspective to our discussions.
