The city is opening up Bruce Park Wading Pool and the Southdale Community Centre Wading Pool this Saturday for licensed dogs to take a dip.

Dogs under 30 lbs. will be welcome at the Bruce Park pool from 10 a.m. to noon, while huskier pups over 30 lbs. get their chance in the water from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Pups over 30 lbs. can practice their doggy paddle at Southdale Community Centre’s pool from 10 a.m. to noon while smaller dogs can stop by between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
