Thank you to everyone for your patience and support to get us here. Designed with accessibility front and centre with lots of input from the community, we should all be proud of this great new space.
It's a safe and user-friendly space for both dogs and people. It features a fantastic new accessible design with access to clean water to keep the pups refreshed, a new walkway, double gated entrances, separate areas for big and small dogs, a large rain/shade structure with seating, an artificial berm and some moveable exercise elements.
This could not have happened without the advocacy and dedication of community members who came together to make this wonderful new space for our furry friends happen.

We considered luxury home tax rates, priority signalling for LRTs and streetcars, a maximum heat bylaw along with our next five-year climate plan and the Portlands Energy Centre.
Major items included snow clearing, Ontario Line truck safety, blue bin collection, removal of provincial tenant protections, zoning changes to allow for more residential retail and more.
