Staff to compile options for Kin Coulee off-leash area
MEDICINE HAT, AB — City staff will need to come up with more options when it comes to how to best protect the Saamis Archeological Site while keeping dog owners who frequent the off-leash area of Kin Coulee Park happy.
Artifacts and history of First Nations are buried just beneath the surface and city staff say the area needs to be preserved and protected.
The city was looking at scaling back the off-leash area to a four-acre fenced in location in the middle of the site for dog owners. It would come at a cost of $100,000 from the parks and recreation budget.
