Mysterious tracks are appearing
around the Shuswap this winter. Giant

Lakes Zoning Bylaw #900 –Electoral
Areas “C” “D” and “F”
After additional final amendments
requested by Fisheries and Oceans
Canada to this bylaw received 2nd
reading for the second time following a
previous public hearing. The Board
approved another Public Hearing to
present the final document to the
public. The date of the Public Hearing
is to be determined, likely in January
2012 to be co-chaired by Directors
Martin, Morgan and Bacigalupo
representing the three affected Electoral
Areas. This bylaw will regulate docks,
buoys and other marine and foreshore
uses and activities including the entire
surface of the Shuswap, Mara, White
and several other smaller lakes in an
effort to manage more effectively the
collective use and activities of our lake
resource with a major effort to protect
the lake habitat and water quality.
Hopefully this bylaw will receive 3rd
They’re brushing and blazing to make
locating trails in the snow easier, and
will host a Get Your Big Foot On
snowshoe series starting this January.
“We’re excited to be supporting
Shuswap Trails in the winter this year,”
says Sicamous field office coordinator,
Lori Schneider Wood. “We’re blessed
reading and final adoption in January
2012. Thank you to all that participated
to date in the preparation of this bylaw.
Dog Control Bylaw Complaints and
Municipal Ticketing Enforcement
resulting in Court Action
After years of excessive late night
barking by a dog owned by a resident
on Duncan Rd. in the MacArthur
Heights development, the CSRD’s Dog
Control Officer issued warnings but the
problem persisted resulting in the
issuance of ticket with a $100.00 initial
fine. The dog owner challenged the
ticket which resulted in a hearing in the
Salmon Arm Law Courts on Monday
Dec. 12, 2011. The presiding judge
upheld the CSRD’s bylaws and found
the dog owner in violation and ordered
payment of the $100.00 to which the
applicant requested an extension to the
end of January 2012. During the
proceedings the presiding judge
inquired several times if the problem to
stop the late night barking had been
resolved and was informed by the dog
owner that it had only to be made aware
that as recent as the night before the
with an incredible team of people –
both in office and out in the field – it’s
amazing what they’re getting done.”

the same dog was heard and witnessed
barking again which resulted in the
courts final decision.
If anyone has experienced issues
related to unreasonable and
unacceptable dog behavior or a lack of
dog control by their owners there are
steps one can take to deal with the
matter. The CSRD’s websitecsrd.bc.ca
under the link of “Dog Control”
provides all the necessary detail. You
may also call 250-833-8492 OR 1-877-
379-2821 (toll free) These bylaws
cover a range of provisions including
but not limited to noisy dogs, nuisance
dogs, dogs running at large, unlicensed
dogs, dog bites and dog attacks, dogs in
heat. Fines can escalate up to
$2,000.00 for repeat offences that an
owner is not prepared or able to resolve.
Responsible dog owners are evident
throughout our area and therefore have
the support of the populace for their
well behaved and controlled dogs as a
sign or respect for others.
