Pйtition pour que les chiens en laisse soient admis sur le territoire du Vieux-Port de Montrйal
tout en restreignant leur accиs en avant-midi seulement en pйriode de grand achalandage,
soit entre le 24 juin et la Fкte du Travail
(see english below)

Le gouvernement fйdйral possиde la totalitй des berges du Vieux-Montrйal. Sa Sociйtй du Vieux-Port, qui gиre les biens de Sa Majestй, ne tolиre aucun chien, en laisse ou non, sur son territoire.

Sur le site Web de la Sociйtй du Vieux-Port, on y lit : pour des raisons sanitaires et de sйcuritй, les chiens ne sont malheureusement pas tolйrйs sur le site des Quais du Vieux-Port. (Quais signifie tout le territoire du Vieux-Port)

Un fait demeure : le chien fait partie de la vie de nombreux Montrйalais et, avec notre population vieillissante, ce nombre ira toujours en saccroissant. Cest aussi le cas chez les rйsidants du Vieux-Montrйal, voisins immйdiats du Vieux-Port, oщ lon compte beaucoup de chiens.

А la recherche dun compromis, le 20 juin 2006, notre association de propriйtaires de chiens du Vieux-Montrйal (clubcaninvieuxmontreal.org) transmettait une proposition а la Sociйtй du Vieux-Port. Nous leur demandions la permission dutiliser une parcelle inoccupйe de leur vaste territoire, couverte de gravier et isolйe des rйsidences, pour quon y amйnage une aire dexercice canin. Nous ne demandions aucun investissement. Nous en prenions la totale responsabilitй et, de plus, nous informions la Sociйtй du Vieux-Port de notre intention de travailler avec les autoritйs pour trouver des moyens dinciter les maоtres dйlinquants une minoritй а ramasser les excrйments de leur animal. Malheureusement, le 29 septembre dernier, la Sociйtй du Vieux-Port nous communiquait son refus.

Non seulement ont-ils refusй notre proposition mais, rйcemment des panneaux indiquant linterdiction aux chiens ont йtй ajoutйs et, mкme si vous кtes seul avec votre chien а 6h du matin dans un Vieux-Port dйsert, chien et maоtre sont chassйs. Les dirigeants du Vieux-Port semblent avoir une aversion particuliиre envers les chiens. Pourtant, parmi leurs visiteurs assidus tels que les itinйrants, les gens qui nourrissent les mouettes, les fкtards enivrйs, les droguйs, etc. les chiens ne sont certes pas la plus grande nuisance ou menace. Cфtй sйcuritй, la plupart des maоtres de chiens vous diront se sentir bien plus en sйcuritй avec leur chien dans le Vieux-Port, surtout tфt le matin.

Les chiens sont nos compagnons, ils font partie de nos familles, de nos vies, de nos marches quotidiennes. Les chasser ainsi dun territoire invitant naturellement а la marche nous semble tout а fait discriminatoire. SVP Signez notre pйtition et invitez les membres de votre famille, vos collиgues, vos amis а la signer aussi. MERCI!




PETition
In order for dogs on leashes to be admitted on the Montrйal Old Port territory, while restricting their access to mornings during the busy peak season, between June 24 and Labor Day

The Federal Government owns the entire river bank of the Old Montrйal. Their Old Port of Montrйal Corporation, manages the Crown property and it does not tolerate any dogs, on leash or not, on its territory.

It is written on the Web site of the Old Port of Montrйal Corporation : Unfortunately, for sanitary and security reasons, dogs are not allowed on the premises of the Quays of the Old Port.

One fact remains : dogs share the lives of many people in Montrйal and, with our aging population, their numbers will keep on growing. This case is similar in the Old Montrйal, immediate neighbors of the Old Port, where there are many dogs.

In search of a compromise, on June 20, 2006, our dog owners association of Old Montrйal (clubcaninvieuxmontreal.org) delivered a proposition to the Old Port of Montrйal Corporation. We asked them to grant us permission to use a small part of their vast territory, made of gravel and isolated from the residences, and make it a dog park. We did not ask for any investment. We offered them to take the entire responsibility for the park. Furthermore, we informed the Old Port Corporation of our willingness to work with the authorities in order to find a way to control delinquent dog owners a minority to pick-up after their dogs. Unfortunately, on September 29, the Old Port of Montrйal Corporation sent us their negative answer.

Besides this simple refusal, they seem to have reinforced the rules by recently adding new signs indicating that dogs are not allowed on the Old Port territory. Even if you find yourself completely alone with your dog on a leash at 6 a.m., dog and master will be hunted out. The Old Port managers seem to have a particularly strong aversion towards dogs. Among the regular visitors on their territory like the homeless, the people who feed the seagulls, the drunk, the drug users, etc. dogs are certainly not the worst nuisance or threat. For security, most of the dog owners feel much more safe with their dogs while walking on the Old Port territory, specially early in the morning.

Our dogs are our companions. They are part of our families, our lives, and our daily walks. To hunt them out of what seems to us as a natural place to walk, is discriminatory.

PLEASE Sign our petition and invite your family members, colleagues and friends to do the same. THANKS!
