Pets have to be on leash in local trails, MRCA

The Mattagami Region Conservation Authority Board unanimously agreed at their December Board meeting to make all Mattagami Region Conservation Areas and Trails on leash for pets.

General Manager David Vallier says, “There have been an increasing number of complaints from the public about off leash dogs on the regular trails in the Conservation Areas and owners not cleaning up after their pets. Effective immediately, all pets must be leashed at all times when visiting Mattagami Region Conservation Areas.”

The Mattagami Region Conservation Authority currently operates four Conservation Areas with the City of Timmins:
Gillies Lake, Hersey Lake, Mountjoy Historical and the White Waterfront Conservation Areas.
