Unfortunately, my partner just had to put down her dog down so I have no skin in the game per se but I do love dogs. Upon reading the many letters to the Saanich editor it appears this Saanich council, led by Karen Harper and Zac de Vries, appear to not understand the meaning of the word “democracy.”
By eliminating around 80 per cent of the off-leash areas they have totally ignored the huge majority (as noted by Colin Plant) of Saanich citizens who objected to this proposal. Might I suggest that dog owners can and should reacquaint the current council with the meaning of the word democracy through the ballot box.
