April
Spring is in the air, and the snow is disappearing - finally! Anticipation for the green grass and heat of summer, but, ........ in order to get there first, you have to wade through a sea of thawing dog feces. Not only is this unsightly, and a potential for illness to yourself and your pet, but it can also cause you to have bad relationships with your neighbours. To avoid this and a potential fine, clean up as it occurs, or as it appears during the thaw.

Off-Leash Areas
Want to let your dog have a bit of fun running, and exploring? The City of Timmins has two great off-leash areas for your pet to enjoy:
- Rainbow Loop at Hershey Conservation Area
- Dog Park off Mattagami Blvd.
Recently it has come to our attention that unauthorized signage has been posted in areas other than the two mentioned above.
Please be advised, that on all other trails within the Corporation of the City of Timmins - other than the Rainbow Loop and the dog park - your pet must be leashed. Receiving a by-law infraction ticket would be costly reminder, if one of our enforcement officers meets you and your pet on the trails.

With so many weather advisements of extreme cold recently, please be sure to help your precious family pets, and be sure to always supervise any outdoor time they have. Early warning signs that it's too cold for your pet, may include such things as holding up paws, shivering, or whining. They are depending on us to keep them safe, happy and healthy!
