Canadian BSL list
Last year I went through all the sources on BSL info I could find to compile a complete list of Canadian BSL, because I couldn't find one that listed everything.
I'm wondering if anyone has any additions at this time, as I'd like to keep it as up to date as possible. P.E.I - Montague has a ban on Pitbulls and Rottwiellers Nova Scotia -Guysborough County has a ban on Pitbulls and Rottwiellers -Clark's Harbour banned Pitbulls in 1998 even though no such dogs existed in the community. New Brunswick -recently passed legislation which allows individual communities to pass BSL. Quebec -Sherbrook bans Pitbulls and restricts Rottweillers and Mastiffs. -Saint-Jean-sur-Richilieu, Chapais, Chibougamau, Saint Genvieve, Ville St.Laurent, Hampstead, Lachine, Kirkland and Outremount all have Pitbull bans. -Some Montreal boroughs restrict off leash time access to Pitbulls, Dobermans and Rottweillers (although it is not enforced in the least). Ontario -Province wide ban. Pitbulls already in the province before the ban was enacted must be muzzled and leashed in public. Anyone traveling into Ontario will be prosecuted under the same law. Manitoba -Winnepeg and Macdonald have bans on Pitbulls. -The Pas ban Pitbulls and dogs bearing physical resemblance to Pitbulls. Saskatchewan -Village of Clavet does not allow Pitbulls within city limits -Moosomin bans Rottweilers, Dobermans and Pitbulls from being acquired after January 2004. Alberta -Edmonton has restrictions on Pitbulls, specifically any dog determined to be primarily Staffordshire Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier by a vet and cannot be registered with the CKC must be leashed and muzzled in public and must be covered by atleast $1million in liability insurance. -Brooks bans Mastiffs, Rottweillers and Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Pitbulls and mixes are restricted and must be leashed and muzzled when not inside an encloser on the owner's property. British Columbia - Nanaimo requires "vicious" be muzzled when in public, and behind a barrier on the owner's property at all times. Pitbulls or a cross of one of theses breeds are "restricted" and automatically considered vicious unless registered with the CKC.* Dogs that have passed the AKC's Canine Good Citizen test are not automatically restricted or considered "vicious". However, the Canadian version of the CGC, the Canine Good Neighbour test is not respected similarily. -Coquitlam Pitbulls and crosses are required to be leashed and muzzled when in public. -Fort Nelson only allows Pitbulls which were residing in the community prior to 1990 and they must be licensed and muzzled and leashed when in public. -Prince George requires Pibulls to be muzzled and enclosed on the owner's property. |
Where'd this info come from?
[QUOTE]Quebec-Sherbrook bans Pitbulls and restricts Rottweillers and Mastiffs. -Saint-Jean-sur-Richilieu, Chapais, Chibougamau, Saint Genvieve, Ville St.Laurent, Hampstead, Lachine, Kirkland and Outremount all have Pitbull bans. -Montreal restricts off leash park access to Pitbulls, Dobermans and Rottweillers (although it is not enforced in the least). [/QUOTE] Some areas of Montreal restrict off leash access to pitties, but not all. My old dog park allowed everybody. Never heard of any rules against dobies either. St-Leonard (independent burrough of Montreal) has an anti-pitbull law too. Not sure about the communities above.:shrug: |

Not sure about the communities above.:shrug:[/QUOTE] All the info came from various BSL lists, and then cross referneced with the by laws of each city when possible, including specifically the city of montreal by-laws. From Plateau borough, which is similar to other areas, though the Ville de Montreal site is so badly set up that I can't find them at the moment: "Il est par ailleurs possible de promener son chien sans laisse, à l'exception des rottweilers, des pitbulls et des dobermans, dans un secteur précis du parc Jeanne-Mance, entre 6*h et 8*h*30 et de 21*h*30 à 24*h. Ce secteur est situé à proximité du terrain de soccer." I will change the wording though, as it shouldn't imply that this includes "dog parks", but rather just off leash areas. |
