Important Message / Animal Control

There have been a number of incidents in our community involving aggressive behaviour of dogs, as well as dogs roaming unattended. There also seems to be some misinformation regarding who manages Animal Control and what authority, if any, is responsible for enforcement of animal control issues on Thetis Island. The answer is the CVRD, AKA, Cowichan Valley Regional Authority.

In fact, there is a By-Law Enforcement Agency that is responsible for handling animal control incidents and concerns for our Electoral Area (G)

Here is the information: 

Coastal Animal Control Services of BC; coastalanimalservices.com / PH# 250-748-3395

CVRD Info website: https://www.cvrd.bc.ca/2751/Dogs 

We have been assured, CVRD officers will get involved.

The CVRD has options for addressing these issues

Many thanks to Marnie Eggen, Islands Trust (Planner),

Peter Luckham, our LTC, Island's Trust for their support and following through with CVRD, and  many Thanks to the CVRD staff!

So, it looks like we don't have a "bone to pick" with CVRD!

Feel free to call: 250-246-2099 if you need more  information. Don't feel you're "barking up the wrong tree" either
