Canine Control: we contract services from Olympus Dog Training for canine control.
For all issues surrounding canine control please contact Olympus Canine directly at 519 942 1508.

With the nice weather, it is important to be aware of how to approach and stay safe.

When coming across others with a dog, you should ensure that you and your dog maintain a safe distance to prevent a potentially dangerous encounter.

In case of serious aggression involving an attack or bite, please follow the appropriate steps:

Call the Police.
  • In cases of serious/ severe bites call 911
  • In non emergency cases call the OPP non emergency line at 1 888 310 1122
Go to the Doctor/Veterinarian
  • Whether the bite is on a person, or another dog, the biggest concern is infection. Even the smallest puncture wound can be a major cause for concern due to the high risk of infection.
  • Make sure you see a doctor within 8 hours of a dog bite and/or take your pet to a Veterinarian as soon as possible.
Report the incident to Public Health

Cycling Stations
The Economic Development Committee will be installing cycling stations throughout the Township as part of the Dufferin County Economic Development Implementation Fund grant. Each cycling station would consist of a combination of one or more of the following: signage, cycling rack/stand, fix-it station, bench. It is our hope that the stations would not only benefit those who visit Mulmur but also the immediate community.
 
If you are interested in participating in Mulmur’s cycling project, and would like to install a cycling station at your property/business please contact info@mulmur.ca.
