Park officials state that the proposal is not currently being considered but will review public feedback and incidents to ensure public safety.

Metro Vancouver is trying to reassure dog owners it has “no plans” to change leash requirements on the popular trails in Pacific Spirit Park.
That proposal, which suggested requiring all dogs to be leashed on all trails south of West 16th Avenue, came from a UBC assistant professor in the Faculty of Medicine, who said she suffered permanent damage to one of her knees when she was charged by a dog in 2023.Metro Vancouver park operations supervisor Richard Wallis said that suggestion is not currently on the table, but the district is currently reviewing its dog management program in the wake of a number of public complaints.
He said the number of dogs visiting the park has also climbed since the COVID-19 pandemic, something he attributed to a wave of new pet ownership.Trudeau says Canada as 51st state is a ‘non-starter,’ vows tariff response“I think it’s something that we need to review. Maybe we can make it a little bit simpler.”
