Tantramar council has voted overwhelmingly against a plan to create a fenced in dog park in Sackville which would have cost just under $11,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Tuesday\u2019s regular council meeting, Active Living director Matt Pryde pitched a new location for the proposed dog park, in the field behind the Civic Centre. That change satisfied concerns raised at a February meeting about the small size of the previously-proposed Dufferin Street location, and its proximity to a school and a daycare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But though councillors thanked Pryde for finding a second location, all but two\u2013Councillors Debbie Wiggins Colwell and Allison Butcher\u2013voted down the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillors cited concerns with disease spreading between animals, potentials for fights and injuries, and dog feces being left by irresponsible dog owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillor Allison Butcher was the first to speak on the proposal, and the only councillor to speak in favour of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe community has been requesting a dog park for a lot of years now, and we have never managed to find a space and a place and the funds,\u201d said Butcher, but she was a fan of the proposed Civic Centre location. \u201cThere’s no concerns like we had with the other one. It’s already partially fenced. It’s still within walking distance. It’s a larger space,\u201d said Butcher. \u201cI really like this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillor Michael Tower acknowledged there was a demand for the park from resident dog owners, but ultimately saw too many down sides. \u201cI do have my concerns after speaking with some vets who are apprehensive about it,\u201d said Tower. \u201cEspecially when you think, who’s going to clean it up? Who’s going to monitor that [users are] following the rules? [Canine parvovirus] is one of the biggest problems with dog parks. And then there’s the liability if one dog happens to tear another one apart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillors Bruce Phinne and Barry Hicks echoed concerns about responsibilities for clean up, which Pryde said would be ultimately handled by parks staff, as with other parks in the municipality. Pryde also said there would be signs posted with rules for the park, and bags available for dog owners to clean up after their animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have bags down around the walking trails down here, everywhere,\u201d said Hicks, \u201cand if you walk around the trails, it’s not being cleaned up at all. So I’m worried about that aspect of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tantramar\u2019s new manager of Active Living and Culture, Jamie Ferguson, was on hand to answer some concerns, and said he had been responsible for managing nine dog parks in his former position with Mississauga. \u201cWe saw no health issues,\u201d said Ferguson. \u201dI think if it is a concern here, we would work with the local veterinarians, and if we saw an increase in disease transmission, we could always close the park down until that cleared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferguson said a code of conduct sign would outline acceptable animal behaviours. \u201cAnd that’s where we would look to our bylaw officers and our animal control officers to help enforce that as well,\u201d said Ferguson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But ultimately the arguments against the new dog park won the day with most councillors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillor Matt Estabrooks closed off discussion by saying that in addition to his concerns about disease and aggression, he felt the project was just too low of a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt almost seems like a make-work project for us,\u201d said Estabrooks. \u201cWe have so many natural areas around here where you can walk your dog and exercise your dog, but we’re actually fencing in an area, and now we’re talking about the hardships with managing the waste and keeping an eye on, and implementing a program, putting up signage\u2026 I feel we\u2019ve probably got other things to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillors quashed the proposed $10,910 expenditure to fence in the field behind the Civic Centre in a 7 to 2 vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right after that vote, council approved a $126,000 expense to purchase a new dehumidifier for the Civic Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
