Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA)’s Enforcement and Regulations staff will be on-site at the Mill of Kintail on Friday, July 18, 2025 in an effort to educate the public on the Ontario Regulation 688/21; Rules of Conduct in a Conservation Area and the importance of having an animal on a leash.

MVCA is reminding all pet owners to be responsible when visiting conservation areas with their dogs and ensure they are leashed at all times as per Ontario Regulation 688/21. The Mill of Kintail, Purdon and Morris Island Conservation Areas welcome leashed pets. However, the length of the leash must not exceed two metres or the animal will be considered at large. Invisible leashes are not permitted. Owners are also reminded that cleaning up after their pet is a must.
