The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) plans to ask residents in Area H of the Slocan Valley whether they support establishing a service to manage dangerous dogs. This question will be included on the ballot during the next general election. The move follows the RDCK’s recent third reading approval of the dangerous and aggressive dog regulatory bylaw on January 22.
If approved, the service would provide a framework for addressing issues related to dangerous dogs within the community, including enforcement and public safety measures.
**Why this matters**
Dangerous dog incidents can pose risks to public safety and animal welfare. By deciding on this service through a public vote, residents have a direct say in how such concerns are managed locally. The outcome will shape the region’s approach to dog control and community safety moving forward.
