Feedback wanted on off-leash dog area in Dresden

Residents in Chatham-Kent can voice their thoughts on a proposal to create an off-leash area for dogs in Dresden.

The public can submit their comments on the Let's Talk Chatham-Kent website.

The consultation period ends at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 2.

A DOLRA is a fenced area where residents can exercise dogs off-leash within a controlled environment without contravention of municipal by-laws.

The Dresden DOLRA is being proposed to be located at Tony Stranak Conservation Area.

According to the municipality, this land is owned by the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority and maintained under lease by Chatham-kent.

All comments received will be included in a future report to Chatham-Kent council for the consideration of the DOLRA designation.

Chatham-Kent currently has two designated DOLRAs, including the Happy Tails Off-Leash Dog Park in Wallaceburg and the John Waddell Dog Park in Chatham.
