❤️ A special tribute to a special person.

The former Duchess Park Dog Park has officially been renamed Travers Memorial Dog Park in honour of the late Kathi Travers, a longtime Prince George resident, dedicated volunteer, and passionate SPCA supporter.

Her legacy of kindness and commitment to animal welfare will live on in a place where our community and their furry friends gather. 🐶

This is one of seven off-leash dog parks within the City. The full list is available at https://www.princegeorge.ca/city-services/bylaw-enforcement/pets-leash-areas
