The letter from Ted Lea about off-leash dogs in PKOLS was very misleading. PKOLS has been leash-optional for well over 20 years.
Saanich, in the interest of the environment (and non dog lovers), has mandated that all trails except a 2.3-km loop be designated on leash only, thereby removing the dogs off trail issue. The loop was approved by consultants as being able to support dog traffic.
TedB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s letter is extremely misleading as 98 per cent of the park will be on leash/trail only dog activity. Saanich was rightly considering the environment and balancing the two-thirds of Saanich that supported some off-leash areas.
