Parents were told that some in the local community were apparently using the school yard as an unofficial off-leash dog park on evenings and weekends.

“I would like to urge all families to exercise extreme caution when in the vicinity of the school yard outside of school hours,” the Toronto District School Board letter said, adding that some of the incidents had been reported to Toronto police and animal services.

Global News reached out to Toronto police for further information. Police said they did not receive report in connection with the school.
