Allow dogs on outdoor patios in Vancouver at the discretion of the restaurant owner/operator.

Allow dogs on outdoor patios in Vancouver at the discretion of the restaurant owner/operator.

The Issue

In a city known for social isolation, dogs are important life-companions and are often a catalyst to positive social interactions.

Outdoor patios represent an environment where dogs do not pose health or sanitary concerns as they might in a closed, interior space.

For this reason, we are petitioning that attended and leashed dogs be permitted on restaurant* patios at the discretion of the owner/operator.

* Or any food service establishment.
