“The Grey Bruce OPP is reminding dog owners to be aware of local by-laws that govern where dogs can go off-leash. It’s important to familiarize yourself with these regulations to ensure you’re complying with the rules and respecting public spaces. Additionally, dog owners should always maintain control of their dogs, especially when off-leash, to ensure the safety of both the animal and others in the community,” says Grey Bruce OPP.
