Be a Voice For Your Dog at CRD Regional Parks
Strategic planning is underway for Greater Victoria Regional Parks and because so many of our 4-legged friends are major users of our parks network, please be aware that your voice is the only one that will be heard on behalf of your dog with respect to how regional park planning plays out.
The Capital Regional District (CRD) has already held community meetings in various communities, with the next one coming up tonight (Monday May 17th) in the Westshore at Langford Church of the Rosary, and another this Tuesday, May 18th, at the Mary Winspear Centre (Sidney). As well, if you live on Saltspring Island, there will be a meeting this Wednesday, May 19th at the Anglican Church.
If you can’t make it to any of these meetings, your voice can still be heard, because you can download and complete an online response form:
You can also go to the CRD Parks website to find out more:
Please be a voice for your best friends and let others know they can have a voice, too. The deadline for receiving your response is May 28, 2010.
