In the Spotlight
The City has unveiled a new video series to help promote positive behavior when recreating with dogs in Helena’s parks and open lands. The Open Lands Division developed the videos to highlight rules and etiquette associated with dogs in the City’s public spaces.

The series was designed to be informative, fun and engaging. The City will introduce the video series through its social media channels in the coming weeks.
