WINTER/SPRING 2014 CHILLIWACK LEISURE GUIDE
6
Top Five Dog Tips for
Local Parks and Trails
License Your Dog
A license isn’t just a fashion accessory for
your beloved pooch, it helps identify your
dog if it gets lost.
Leash
Make sure your pet is under control.
Whereas you may be comfortable
around your pet, others may not be. An
over excited or aggressive animal can
increase others discomfort or fear.
Unleash
The City of Chilliwack has off-leash
locations for your dog to run freely.
They are:
South Chilliwack – The former Canadian
Forces Base at Nord Road
North Chilliwack – Island 22 at Cartmell
Road
When visiting the off-leash areas please
keep toys and snacks off site and remain
on site with your pet at all times.
Don’t forget to leash your pet on your way
to or when leaving the off-leash area
Pick-Up
Remember to pick up anything your dog
has left behind.
Digging
Dogs love to dig however we ask that
they not do so in our parks or along our
trails.
Chilliwack’s
Water Spray Parks
The City of Chilliwack has two water
spray parks available for the public’s
enjoyment. The parks are located at the
Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre and at
the Cheam Centre in Garrison Crossing.
Each of these park areas also provide
picnic space and leisure opportunities for
young and old to participate in.
Waterfowl in Parks
While it is enjoyable to feed the
waterfowl, it is detrimental to them and
our environment and creates numerous
problems such as:
• Disturbs natural migration patterns
leading to a high concentration of birds
• Overcrowding can lead to disease and
fighting amongst the population
• Feeding destroys the bird natural ability to
forage and find food for themselves
• Deprives the birds of essential nutrients
• It reduces useable areas due to large
amount of feces and aggressive fowl
Feeding waterfowl is also illegal and
can result in a fine of up to $2000
(Bylaw #2974).
Please help us control the waterfowl
population; and remember, real geese do
not eat bread.
