It is mandatory for every dog, over 4 months old, to be licensed yearly, and to wear the tag on their collar. Dog licence fees offset the costs of animal control and provide an accurate form of identification.
You must apply for an aggressive dog licence within 14 days of receiving written notice by an Animal Control Officer advising of the determination that your dog meets the definition of an 'Aggressive Dog' pursuant to Part 7 of Animal Responsibility Bylaw.
