Dog Parks and Public Places

• Parks and public places

  It is prohibited to have an animal in a park, playing field or playground, whether or not it is on a leash, with the exception of certain areas set up for this purpose.

• Parks that accept dogs and public roads

  On public roads and in some parks in Châteauguay, dogs are allowed under certain conditions.

  • The animal’s keeper must be in control of the animal at all times and keep it on a leash. The length of the leash may not exceed 2 metres (6.5 ft.).
  • The keeper must also ensure that the animal’s collar is secure and will not strangle it.
  • The animal must wear its identification tag at all times.
  • The dog’s droppings must be picked up immediately from public or private properties and disposed of hygienically. To this end, the keeper must at all times carry a bag or other device to adequately pick up after the dog.
  • The animal can never be left alone, whether or not it is tied up.
  • The keeper is responsible for damages caused by the animal.

An administrative codification is a document that combines the original text of a by-law with all the amendments made since its adoption. It has no legal weight but is, rather, a tool created solely to make it easier to read and understand the by-law as a whole. Only the original by-law and its amending by-laws have legal weight.
