Current restriction

• Dogs are prohibited between 8am and 2pm on days upon which the Original Open Market operates.

Proposed restriction

• Dogs on-leash during market times.

Signage

• Proposed restrictions identified by signs.

Compliance

• Compliance will be subject to customer reports of non-compliance and investigated by a ranger.

Rationale

• Dogs prohibited at the market was a decision and request to Council by the previous Open Market committee to be included in the by-law.

• The new committee would like to reverse the decision and allow dogs on-leash at the market.

• The market is outdoors and welcomes patrons both inside and outside the local area. It is unreasonable to expect patrons to be aware of the by-law.
