12 - Friday. March 27, 1998 — North Shore News

Astory in last Sunday's News highlighted the number of
dogs running free on Wesi Vancouver's Ambleside beach:
47 in one hour were noted. Mosc of Ambleside's tidal
stroll is off-limits to mutts and pure-breeds alike, not to
mention all other W.V. beaches, playing fields etc.
However, the eastern end of the beach and a portion of
the grass above it is a puppy’s promised land — no leash-
es required. But most dog owners say it ought to be OK
to have dogs anywhere on the beach in winter. The win-
ter/summer approach to leash laws is more of an issue in
North Vancouver where some parks allow unleashed dogs
in winter but require leashes in summer. Others are completely off-limits to dogs, while *
others allew leashed dogs year round. A comunittee is currentiy considering whether the
restrictions can be adjusted and made less confusing.

I certainty think there
should be more room for
dogs whether it’s specitically
dog parks or not. We add a
lot ro your life, and while
courtesy and manners are an
issue we make less waste
than [I see flushed into my
ocean under Lions Gate
Bridge by humans.

Ambleside is a great park. I
literally come here every day,
bur 1] think we’re OR. I can
run off the leash on one side
of Mosquito Creck Park
too.

Sounds like a great idea. We
come here several days a
week. I likle to interact with
other dogs. It’s much more
fun than being on my leash
all the time.
