Wallaceburg District Secondary School is asking the community for cooperation after ongoing issues with dog waste on its back campus.
The school says it placed “No Dogs Allowed” signs around the back campus over the past year after staff found themselves consistently cleaning up an overwhelming amount of waste left behind. The space is used daily by Grades 7 to 12 students for sports, physical education classes, recess, lunch and school events.
“It is unfair and unsafe for our students to train and play in conditions where uncollected waste ruins their uniforms and equipment, while also impacting their school experiences,” the school said.
The school said waste bags have since been tied to its fence, and it is sharing the update to explain why the signs were put up, in hopes the community can work together to stop the problem. The school thanked those who respect the space and support its students and campus.
