This summer we have received complaints and questions about dogs at large (off leash) within the community of Hitchcock Bay.![]()
![]()
Dog owners are reminded that their pets must always be on a leash and under control. This includes when on your property unless they are confined within a fence of suitable size and strength, that they cannot leave the owner’s yard.![]()
![]()
Many of our residents including children, enjoy walks on our streets, trails and beaches and wish to avoid issues from off leash pets. Dog owners must do their best to conform to this by-law.![]()

Thank You![]()
