What Happens if My Dog is Off-Leash
in a Provincial Park?

 

Park staff or Conservation Officers will ask you to put your dog on a leash immediately.

A Conservation Officer may issue a fine if your dog is off-lead. They have the authority and responsibility to remove your dog from the park if it appears aggressive or out of control.

The minimum fine is $167.71.

Remember even the most loving, well-trained dog may act differently or even aggressively when in a new place, around new people, or in the presence of wildlife.
