Responsible Pet Owners recognized in City Parks
Animal Services and the Parks Division are pleased to announce the appointment of Darby Klages as Coordinator for the Pets in the Park summer program which is currently underway. Throughout the summer of 2011, Darby will be visiting various city parks, off-leash dog areas and public events talking to pet owners about responsible pet ownership including leash requirements, cleaning up after pets and pet licensing. She will present 'Responsible Pet Owner' awards to pet owners that are seen complying with City By-laws.
The goal of the program is to promote responsible pet ownership in Thunder Bay so that both pet owners and non-pet owners can work together to make Thunder Bay a safe and health community for everyone.
