Local Off-Leash Dog Area Strategy
Page Content

 

The City of Vaughan recognizes the value off-leash dog parks bring to dogs and their families. To clearly understand and respond to the needs of residents, the City is continuing to identify locations to pilot local spaces for pets to roam leash-free. The outcome will be a Local Off-leash Dog Area Strategy that will name pilot sites for off-leash dog areas and how these sites will be managed and maintained. 

While Vaughan continues to respond to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the health and safety of citizens and staff remains the priority. As a result, the in-person Local Off-Leash Dog Strategy Open House (originally scheduled for March 24, 2020) was cancelled. Because public engagement is vital to the development of this strategy, the City invites citizens to join the conversation — virtually.  

Citizens were invited to view this video and participate in an online self-directed workshop to learn more about the Local Off-Leash Dog Area Strategy and key findings to date, and there was an opportunity to provide feedback on the eight pilot locations and the Off-Leash Dog Area Stewardship program. The online self-directed workshop ran from Thursday, July 23 to Monday, Aug. 31. More than 680 respondents participated. Results of the workshop and the project’s next steps will be posted here on this website. Check back often for updates. Thank you to those who participated.
