How it works
The District of Barriere's Bylaw Enforcement page says the District does not provide Animal Control Services. It gives the reasons: there is no dog licensing bylaw, and the District has no trained staff, vehicle or equipment to catch an animal and no place to take one. A 2013 Council report lists adopting a dog licensing bylaw as an option. We found no such bylaw in the District's bylaw library.
