Dogs to be welcome at Coldstream beach for at least a year

Coldstream council approved a one-year pilot starting June 14, 2025, to allow dogs off-leash at Pumphouse Beach on Kalamalka Lake.
The pilot responds to years of resident interest and council's decision to try the dog beach first due to mixed opinions.
The district will provide existing bear-proof bins, dog bag dispensers, and new signage at minimal setup cost, though the beach lacks full mobility accessibility.
Mayor Ruth Hoyte emphasized that parking is limited nearby and highlighted concerns raised by residents, encouraging dog owners to be considerate and responsible.
The district will monitor feedback and conflicts over the year and decide if the dog-friendly status should continue after June 14, 2026.
