## How it works

In Logan Lake, [Animal Control and Impoundment Bylaw 893](<https://loganlake.civicweb.net/document/4088/>) says no person may permit an animal to be at large. A dog is at large if it is not leashed and under the immediate control of a competent person on a street, in a park or in another public space, or if it strays or trespasses on private property, or is on unfenced land and not securely tethered or contained. A leash may not exceed 183 centimetres (about 6 feet).

## Good to know

- Off-leash areas: the bylaw refers to "designated Dog Parks" but does not list them, and no list or map was found. Ask the Municipal Office at 250-523-6225 for current locations.
- No person may keep an animal on a street, in a public park or in a public space that bans animals with posted signs. Dogs in signed no-animal areas are ticketed.
- At Lakeview Plaza, dogs must be on a leash or under effective control (ticket $10).
- A dog at large is a $45 ticket for a first offence, $75 for a second and $125 for a third.
- Failing to remove animal waste is a ticketable offence under the Protection of Municipal Property Bylaw 725, with a $50 ticket. The bylaw's own wording could not be read, so ask the District what it requires.
- No named bans on beaches, playgrounds or sports fields were found; bans depend on signs.
