To the City of Victoria;
We the many dog owners who frequent Gonzales Beach during the year would like to respectfully request a change to the summer “no dogs on the beach” rule. We would like you to consider allowing dogs to access the beach unleashed until 9 am for the months of June, July and August. We believe that this would meet with everyone’s approval and be a very satisfactory compromise to the current total ban on dogs in the summer months. Thank you for your consideration of this amendment.
I was down at the water just this morning watching the sun come up and thinking about how peaceful those early hours are when the beach is mostly just empty sand and salt air. It really feels like such a simple adjustment to let us have those few hours before the crowds show up because the dogs really do just want to run in the surf and head home quietly before the day gets going.

Dog owners are generally early risers but the general public not so much. I'm in total support of having beach access for dogs until 9:00

Having dogs on Gonzales Beach through summer months until 0900 with responsible owners is a great use of public space.

Dogs should be allowed to run and swim on Gonzales and all beaches with their responsible humans until at least 0900

The beach is empty at 7am anyway so why cant we just use it. Makes no sense to keep us off when nobody else is there yet
