Letter: Federal Report Imminent
We write with concern about the CBRA's "urgent" request that Saanich Council remove or alter the 42-year May-through-August summer canine prohibition in Cadboro Bay Gyro Park. For years, the spring-and-summer dog prohibition, while not universally obeyed, has been protecting children, families and the elderly from hazards associated with dogs. It has protected children on the… Continue reading Letter: Federal Report Imminent
Letter: Assaulted by Dogs
On walks along Cadboro Beach I have been assaulted by dogs on numerous occasions. These usually take the form of dogs jumping and placing their paws on my person, walking besides me whilst barking threateningly or both. I will recount the last two events which occurred over the past 10 days. Whilst walking along the beach in… Continue reading Letter: Assaulted by Dogs
Letter: The Sad Loss of the “UVic Dog Field”
Having worked at UVic for over 25 years, and being a long-time dog owner, I’m aware of many of the issues around the area that has historically been referred to as the UVic “Dog Field.” Starting in the mid 90’s, after we got our first dog, I soon discovered the UVic Dog Field, which is… Continue reading Letter: The Sad Loss of the “UVic Dog Field”

Letter: Dogs on Cadboro Bay Beach
Your report was brought to my attention recently and it raises numerous concerns, including a picture of a loose pet on its front cover. It appears to have been written by a dog lobby/special interest group. I am quoted out of context and crucial information on Migratory Bird Sanctuaries and their regulations (below) is missing.… Continue reading Letter: Dogs on Cadboro Bay Beach
Letter: Canine Survey Response
My wife and I have resided in Cadboro Bay since May, 1991. In that time one of the most significant changes has been the increase in the residential canine population. This is a trend that has been seen in many communities, not just ours. The impact of this change has been both positive and negative.… Continue reading Letter: Canine Survey Response
Letter: Dogs on Cadboro Beach
Hello In response to recent letters about dogs on Cadboro Beach that take issue with restrictions. Please consider that there are valid, non-frivolous reasons for wanting tighter restrictions. For people who have a fear of dogs, or an allergy to them, restrictions allow them to enjoy the same privilege you take for granted — to… Continue reading Letter: Dogs on Cadboro Beach
Letter: 2345 Queenswood Dr.
Dear Cadboro Bay Residents Association I am opposed to this Subdivision Application in its current form. It is not in keeping with the treed, semi-rural, and natural aspects of Queenswood which our neighbourhood values. I support the recommendation which has been proposed by a group of residents who are close neighbours of 2345 Queenswood Drive:… Continue reading Letter: 2345 Queenswood Dr.
