A campaign by the Grand River Conservation Authority is encouraging the public to “take the lead” when it comes to bringing dogs to conservation areas.
They are reminding visitors that their four-legged companions must be kept on a leash at all times while on their properties.
Owners must also pick up after their dogs and be considerate of others.
Officials say staff will be increasing enforcement and those who don’t comply could face fines.
