A Voice from the Eastern Door
The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne’s Compliance Program is reminding residents of Akwesasne to please ensure that your dogs are tied up or confined to your property. There has recently been an increase in the number of complaints regarding loose dogs and also aggressive dogs chasing people on the road and in public spaces. There have been serious incidences recently involving dogs who attacked persons on the roadway, which is a public space. Dogs have also been reportedly chasing children from their school bus drop-off.
It is the responsibility of the dog owner to restrain dogs to their property, and any dog that is loose in a public space is in violation of the Control of Dogs By-Law. All dogs should be tied to the property to protect the general public from the animal.
Please help protect all of our Akwesasronon from loose dogs. All community members should be able to walk along the road without fear of a dog attack.
If you have a dog-related incident to report, please contact the Compliance Program at 613-575-2341 Ext. 2415.
