COVID-19: Elections, Vaccinations, and Latest Cases (Apr. 13, 2021)

Stoop, scoop -- and carry!

The Village of Salisbury has been having a problem with little bags of dog waste just being dropped on the ground (for example, along the Wetland Trail next to Highland Park) rather than being carried to and placed in a garbage receptacle. The Village asks that you please be courteous and not litter. Stoop, scoop, and carry! Your cooperation is much appreciated.
Also, a reminder to those with dogs that neither Highland Park nor the Wetland Trail are “dog parks;” that is, dogs MUST be kept on leashes as is the rule for public spaces in the municipality. Allowing your dog to run loose is also a violation of By-law No. 41 (Animal Control By-law). The Village of Salisbury – and especially the nesting waterfowl! – thank you for your understanding with regards to this.
