Get Involved

There is more than one way to help.

Attend a meeting, represent your park, volunteer for a project, share a local photograph or simply bring forward a good idea.

OLDPUG is built by people who use Regina’s off-leash spaces and want to help make them safer, cleaner and more welcoming.

Ways to Help

Choose the kind of involvement that fits you.

You do not need to join every meeting or take on a major role. A photograph, an hour at a tidy-up or one useful local observation can all make a difference.

Attend a Meeting

See the work as it happens.

OLDPUG holds Executive Committee and Council meetings throughout the year. Meeting dates are posted on the website, with participation details added as they are confirmed.

Meetings are a good way to learn what is underway, understand how decisions are made and bring forward broader park-community ideas.

Participation Details

The process for public attendance and meeting participation is being finalized. Upcoming dates are listed on the home page.

Park Representation

Help make sure your park has a voice.

Park representatives bring local information, recurring concerns, ideas and community priorities to OLDPUG Council.

Representatives do not need to solve every problem or speak for every individual. Their role is to help keep communication moving between park users and OLDPUG.

This park community does not currently have an OLDPUG representative, and we would dearly love to find one.

Volunteers helping with a Regina dog park project

Volunteer

Practical help is always valuable.

Volunteer opportunities may include park tidy-ups, distributing educational materials, helping with events, gathering local information or supporting a short-term project.

Some opportunities require only an hour or two. Others may suit people who enjoy planning, communication, photography or behind-the-scenes organization.

Volunteer Process

OLDPUG is confirming the best way to receive and coordinate volunteer offers. Opportunities will be posted as the process is finalized.

Share a Photograph

Help us show Regina’s parks as they really are.

OLDPUG welcomes candid photographs of dogs enjoying Regina’s off-leash spaces. Perfect photography is not required. Mud, motion blur, ridiculous expressions and enormous close-up noses are all part of real park life.

Photographs may be used in OLDPUG communications, social media, printed materials and community projects. Photos may be cropped or resized to suit the format.

Before sharing a photograph

  • Confirm that you took the photograph or have permission to share it.
  • Do not submit identifiable children or other people unless you have their permission.
  • Include the park name, the dog’s name and a short caption when possible.
  • Sharing is voluntary, and you may later ask OLDPUG to stop using your photo in future materials.

Submission Process

A formal photo-submission process is being finalized. In the meantime, watch for photo calls in the OLDPUG Facebook community and individual park groups.

Have Another Idea?

Good ideas do not always fit neatly into a box.

OLDPUG is still finalizing its official contact process. Once approved, the contact page will explain how to submit ideas, ask questions and connect with the appropriate person.
