Dear Dog Off-Leash Area stakeholders,

Please find below the survey link that you can share via email and social media outlets, this will assist in ensuring we receive valuable feedback and data about existing City Off-leash Areas.

In addition, as outlined in the Discussion Guide, the 10 Case Study sites where the "Pup-ups" will be held have been finalized and are as follows:

1. L'Amoureaux Park OLA
2. High Park OLA
3. Beresford Park OLA
4. Wychwood Barns Park OLA
5. Allan Gardens OLA
6. Merrill Bridge Road Park OLA
7. Cherry Beach OLA
8. Sunnybrook Park OLA
9. Bayview Arena Park OLA
10. Sandy Bruce Park OLA

The intention of the 10 Case Study sites is to serve as exemplars to demonstrate how the researched global Best Practices may be applied to sites to solve issues that are common across all of the City's existing OLAs. The above mentioned sites were chosen using site selection criteria that was developed by our Consultant in consultation with Stakeholders to identify common attributes. Examples of criteria include; size of OLA, type of surface, presence of trees, etc. Design solutions that address each attribute of interest will be developed as a type of 'lessons learned', and be used to inform future work in OLA's, such as changes to maintenance routines or when renovations are undertaken when adequate resources and funding are secured.

Thank you,
