Short answer

Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality's bylaws we read set no limit on the number of dogs or cats. The Animal Control Bylaw bans keeping or harbouring any wild animal on any parcel. Ask Bylaw Enforcement at 250-578-2020 ext. 211 if you plan to keep many animals.

How it works

The Animal Control Bylaw No. 0018 sets no number limit for dogs or cats in Sun Peaks. It says only that cats may be kept on any parcel, subject to the bylaw. The Zoning Bylaw and the Municipality's bylaw page also set no limit, and the ticket schedules list no offence for keeping too many animals.

Good to know

  • No wild animal may be kept or harboured on any parcel in the municipality.
  • Because no limit is stated, ask Bylaw Enforcement (250-578-2020 ext. 211, bylaw@sunpeaksmunicipality.ca) if you keep several animals or run a kennel.
  • Dogs still must follow the leash and clean-up rules.
