Dog Park open house coming up in Elkford

The District of Elkford wants to hear from residents on how to move forward with a off-leash dog park.

Council is asking the public two questions. Should the project move forward and where should the dog park be located?

There are 12 possible locations for the dog park.

The district had a proposal go through council in the fall.

Mayor Steve Fairbairn said there was a lot more to work through before approving it.

“It’s been very contentious. There are certain parameters that are developing through this process that conditions have to be met for a dog park to be feasible and functional. That includes landscape and parking.”

The open house is scheduled for Mar. 10 from 6-8 p.m.

A survey is open until 4 p.m. on the day of the open house and can be found here.
