The dog licence canvassers headed out on June 24 and will go door-to-door until September. According to Burnaby's bylaw, city dogs must have a licence.
Dan Layng, supervisor of property use coordination in the city's licensing department, said the program generally occurs every other year.
"It's been fairly successful, it's brought awareness around the requirement of dog licences," he said. "It helps to engage the public, and then the public understands that the proceeds help offset animal control and the shelters."
Licences can be purchased from a canvasser, the city's shelter at 3202 Norland Ave., participating veterinarian offices or from the licence office at 4949 Canada Way. For more info, call 604-294-7320.
