    Feedback from Phase 1 engagement helped identify key issues such as the need for clearer definitions, enhanced enforcement and greater public education on the bylaw. Now, we need your input to refine these areas and ensure the revised bylaw creates a safe environment for all Edmontonians and their pets.

    Please share your thoughts on the current Animal Licensing and Control Bylaw. 


    What is most important to you for the City to consider when renewing the current bylaw? 

    What is your best advice as we move forward?
