Dog owners and their pets will now be able to enjoy two more off-leash areas in the city.
City council on Monday night approved two new dog-friendly zones one in Dover Park and in Woodwards Slough.
In addition, the temporary off-leash area in Steveston Park will become a permanent fixture.
The changes came as council approved amendments to the animal control bylaw, which also included powers to force a suspected offending dog owner to identify themselves to a bylaw officer or be fined $200 and that pets can only be tied up and left unattended for one hour in any six-hour period.
The tether must also be at least three metres long.
