Senior Salmon Arm Cyclist Asks for Signage at Beach Following Attack by Off-Leash Dog

G. Grant, 68, urges Salmon Arm council to improve signage and enforcement at Canoe Beach after a dog bite incident involving unleashed dogs in restricted areas.

  • G. Grant, a 68-year-old Salmon Arm resident, wrote a letter to city council on August 25 about incidents involving unleashed dogs at Canoe Beach.
  • Grant encountered a couple with an unleashed small dog in a grassy area not designated for off-leash dogs during visits on August 5 and August 18, leading him to request clearer signage.
  • On the second visit, an aggressive dog ran at Grant, circled his bike showing bared teeth, and bit his right calf, requiring medical attention and prompting bylaw enforcement action.
  • Grant commended bylaw enforcement for their prompt response, noting that the owner of the dog was identified and necessary measures were implemented, while city staff continue to enhance the visibility of dog-related signage at the beach.
  • This situation highlights ongoing challenges with enforcing leash laws and suggests the need for clearer boundaries to ensure safe and comfortable public beach use.
