Redcliff council hears concerns about off-leash area
REDCLIFF, AB — The town of Redcliff has been hearing concerns from dog owners about the off-leash area set aside at River Valley Park in the town.
At the last town council meeting in December, concerns were brought forward about the trail being off-leash. Mayor Ernie Reimer says there was one complaint in particular.
“This individual used to walk his dog down there and it’s a smaller dog and he had some altercations with some large dogs from time to time,” he said.
But Reimer says it hasn’t been the only complaint. The area has only been a designated off-leash area for about a year-and-a-half and Reimer says some people feel threatened by large dogs when they’re off-leash.
