WINNIPEG Frequent visitors of a downtown Winnipeg dog park weren t wagging their tails when new signage told them to be quieter. During the pandemic, the city has seen an uptick in traffic at dog parks, and more dogs means more noise.

I noticed that today when I came in, the no excessive dog barking sign, she said. Definitely new to me, haven t seen that before, I can see why it went up.
