IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR DOG OWNERS & THE GENERAL PUBLIC - CANTEEN BANDANNA DAY
Regional Cancer Fighters welcomes the community and their four-legged friends to our family-friendly Canteen Bandanna Day event at Sturt Reserve, Murray Bridge! 💛
To ensure the safety, comfort and wellbeing of all attendees, including children, families, stallholders, volunteers and other members of the public, we ask everyone bringing a dog to follow these guidelines.
🐶 RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERSHIP
* All dogs must remain on a lead and under the owner’s control at all times.
* Owners are responsible for supervising their dogs and managing their behaviour throughout the event, including during the dog fancy-dress competition.
* Dogs must be comfortable around people, children and other dogs. Please do not bring dogs that may pose a risk to others.
* Owners must immediately remove their dog from the event area if it displays aggressive, distressed or uncontrollable behaviour.
* Please clean up after your dog and dispose of waste appropriately.
* Dogs must be kept away from food preparation and serving areas.
* Please respect members of the public who may be frightened of, allergic to or uncomfortable around dogs. Keep a safe distance and do not allow dogs to approach people without permission.
🛡️ SAFETY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC
* Please remain aware of your surroundings and keep walkways clear.
* Do not allow dogs to jump on, chase, approach or interfere with other attendees, children, assistance animals or other dogs.
* Parents and carers are asked to supervise children around animals at all times.
* If you witness unsafe behaviour or an incident involving a dog, please notify an event organiser or volunteer immediately.
* Event organisers reserve the right to ask an owner to remove a dog if its behaviour creates a safety concern.
🐾 Please remember: Dog owners are responsible for their dogs and must take reasonable steps to prevent injury, damage or distress to other people and animals.
Everyone attending has a role in helping maintain a safe and respectful environment.
Water bowls will be provided at various points for dogs to rehydrate.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us make this a wonderful, safe and inclusive community event. 💛
