The owners reported that their dogs became ill after ingesting something at the park.
In one instance, a dog died shortly after the report was filed.

Mounties say it’s too early to tell if these incidents were a deliberate attempt to poison the dogs or if they fell ill after ingesting a toxic plant or mushroom.
“But we are investigating all possibilities,” a release reads.
“We are concerned for the safety of the dogs that frequent the park, which is why we are warning dog owners to be vigilant, and to report anything suspicious,” Constable Mansoor Sahak said.
Anyone who has any information about these incidents is asked to call the North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311.
