[nagdu] Proposed Service Dog Legislation in British Columbia, Canada

[Heather Hutchison]

Debby,

Good point. I think TSE would be considered an accredited school under this new law, but I am really not sure of all the finer points yet. What happens if a service dog handler is visiting BC and doesn’t have one of these government issued IDs? Does that mean they won’t be able to bring their dog into public?

I feel like this law will benefit the schools and business owners and hurt actual service dog handlers. Not sure who to talk to to discuss the issues. I wonder how many handlers they actually talked to when drafting this?
