Mandate

The City of White Rock Council approved a trial period for dogs on leash to be allowed to be on the Waterfront Promenade. The term of the trial period was from October 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020.

The Dogs on the Promenade Task Force had been formed in advance of the trial period to determine the approach used to assess the relative success or failure of allowing dogs on the promenade.

On Sept. 14, City Council voted to continue the bylaw approved in 2019 for the pilot project. The task force will have one further meeting in 2020 and report to City Council.
