LETTERS TO THE EDITOR...Leash-free zones available

Dear editor, We'd like to respond to Andrea DiMonte's letter of March 1 (Someone needs to clean up Georgetown). We agree that dogs running offleash is a problem as not everyone enjoys a bouncing pup heading their way and no one appreciates a dog owner who doesn't pick up after a dog. We would like to commend our Town of Halton Hills council for being proactive in providing the citizens of Halton Hills with two locations for our dogs to run safely off leash. Prospect Park in Acton has had a popular fully fenced off-leash zone since October 2003 and a second fenced off-leash zone at Cedarvale Park will open this spring. Both sites are managed by the Recreation and Parks Department in cooperation with the Halton Hills Dog Owners Group (HH-DOG). For further information on keeping your dog safe in a leash-free zone, and to offer your support, please see our website at www.hhdog.com. Kathy Dorbeck and Sandra Hall HH-DOG
