Moncton, your neighbours are leaving you little poop surprises

SHARE

Your Moncton neighbours are leaving you little surprises.

Bon matin de Moncton — la marée monte, and so do we. Let's get into it.

Écoute bien, because something on McAndrew Street has people talking, and not in a good way. We're talking about dog poop bags, right, but not the kind you expect. People are apparently picking up after their dogs, which is good, but then they're just... leaving the bags. Like, on the street, hanging on fences, tossed into bushes. It’s wild, hein? Someone on the Moncton North subreddit pointed it out, and it’s a whole thing.

### Why This Matters for Moncton

For me, it’s not just about a little mess. It’s about respect for our city, right? Moncton North, near McAllister Place, it’s a busy area. We love our dogs here, you see them all over Centennial Park, walking the trails, even down by Bore Park. But this? C’est pas chic. It makes you wonder about the little things that add up in a community.

* **It’s a cleanliness issue:** Nobody wants to see that on their morning walk.

* **It’s a community issue:** It makes people frustrated with their neighbours, and that’s never good.

* **It’s about civic pride:** We work hard to keep Moncton beautiful, from the Université de Moncton campus to the Capitol Theatre downtown. This just takes away from it.

It's a small thing, maybe, but it’s the kind of small thing that can really bug you when you’re trying to enjoy your neighbourhood. Let’s do better for Moncton, for each other, right? Just take the bag home, it’s not that hard.
