With the continuing rise of dog ownership in Toronto, residents have expressed concerns over the management of dog-waste in our parks system and the resulting public health impacts. As a result, I recently moved a motion requesting City staff report back in 2019 on the feasibility of installing dog-waste containers in City parks and dog off-leash areas, including options to conduct a dog-waste container pilot project in the City of Toronto. My motion will help us find solutions to ensure a healthy environment for all Torontonians.
