My neighbour does not clean up after his dog and leaves a mess on the boulevard in front of my house. Can he be charged and does a sign need to be posted for a conviction to be registered?
Although signs may help in educating the public about “stoop and scoop” laws, posting a sign is not necessary for a charge to be laid against a person who contravenes Traffic By-Law 93‑93 by allowing his pet to foul City property. Further, the City’s Parklands By-Law 161‑83 stipulates that all animal owners clean the parkland (the definition of which includes City parks) of excrement from their animal. If you would like to submit a concern or complaint, you may do so at the Enforcement and By-Law Services Division, in person, by telephone, by mail or by email, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Enforcement Officers perform enforcement-related duties 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year. For services available 24×7 and other vital services relating to matters of an urgent nature, you may call after hours at 905‑458‑3424. If you would like to submit your query or concern in writing, you may do so by regular mail to the address below or by sending an email to en
