Gimli council has rejected a contentious bylaw that bans dogs from its beachfront boardwalk and lawns.

Deputy Mayor Peter Peiluck confirmed council voted 4-1 Wednesday evening in favour of returning to the town’s original bylaw, which restricted dogs from the beach area only.

“It’s now exactly as it was before,” Peiluck told the Free Press.

Gimli's mayor says he’s prepared to table an amendment to the motion that would limit the boardwalk ban to the period of the high tourist season.
BORIS MINKEVICH / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS ARCHIVES Gimli's mayor says he’s prepared to table an amendment to the motion that would limit the boardwalk ban to the period of the high tourist season.

In past weeks, the idea of banning dogs from the boardwalk, grass and beach riled up people on both sides of the debate.

Supporters suggested the ban would have been beneficial for hygiene and the general safety of beach-goers, while opponents thought the ban was too strict.
