Report a Concern

Does the CRD have animal control bylaws?

The CRD does not have bylaws addressing animals at large (being off the owner's property), pet licensing, or cruelty to animals. For information or assistance, please contact your local S.P.C.A shelter.

Does the CRD deal with aggressive or dangerous dogs?

No. However, there is provincial “Dangerous Dog” legislation that the RCMP can enforce in certain cases. It is suggested that you contact the RCMP if you believe a dog could be dangerous.

Does the CRD deal with barking dogs?

The CRD has a barking dog section in its noise bylaw. However, the bylaw is only in effect in certain electoral areas (area A, B, D, E, F, G, H, L). Please contact the Bylaw Enforcement Department for further information or to Report a Concern.

I have lodged a complaint. How long will it take for a Bylaw Enforcement Officer to investigate?

When a complaint is received by the Bylaw Enforcement Officer, it may take some time to investigate, depending on his/her workload. Please note that every complaint is investigated. Wherever possible, the officer works with the property owners to resolve the issue and is monitoring for compliance.

Resources do not allow for an Officer to inform a complainant of every development in an investigation. If you require an update or additional information, please contact the Bylaw Enforcement department.
