The warmer weather means more people will be spending time in Giovanni Caboto Park. Some folks bring their dogs with them to the park - and sometimes let them run around unleashed. The park is not an off-leash area.

Here is the City of Edmonton’s bylaw concerning dogs, taken from the City’s website:

Dogs are not allowed to be loose unless they are on your property or in a designated off-leash area. Dogs must always be on a leash when on public property and should be contained in a secure yard or building when on your property. Dogs are not allowed on school grounds, sports fields, playgrounds and golf courses.

The fine for violating this bylaw is $100.

As well, not picking up after your dog on public property or the property of others carries a fine of $100.

A list of off-leash areas is available on the City of Edmonton website.
