How and Where do I licence my dog? 

Required by municipal bylaw, dog licences are available at the Town office at an annual cost of $23 ($13 for seniors aged 65-plus).  A licence greatly improves the chances of your lost pet being returned! 

What are my responsibilities as a pet owner?

• The Town receives many complaints from park and trail system users regarding people not "scooping poop" after their pets defecate.  Failure to pickup after your pet could result in a fine of $50. 
• All pets in Town parks and recreation areas must be on leashes. Pets are not allowed in areas containing playground equipment.
• All dogs within the Town boundaries must be licensed.
• Cats must remain on the property of their owner. Pet owners who allow their cat to roam can receive fines starting at $50.

Electrical extension cords must not be placed across public sidewalks or driveways because they create a dangerous trip hazard.
