Very sorry to hear of your loss and had you in mind yesterday actually as my two Golden's and I were walking up Windy Ridge, west of Turner Valley, and the steep cliffs that are there.

I'd say there is a difference between having a plaque, remembering your wonderful chum, in an out of the way place that most people would only find accidentally, where you could visit occasionally to remember him . . . . . . versus having a rather bold, purposeful sign next to a travelled path in a provincial or national park. If its the latter, Rangers will probably take it down if you don't have prior permission.

Good thought and I understand the reason why you want to give your pal's life a purpose but if you want a sign like that to linger, you probably need to talk to someone in charge again, assuming its in a park.

Secondly, I might say this sounds more like a public education project versus a memorial and, if so, there are more avenues open to you versus a sign in one particular spot and where you could still remember your dog. And, you could still do that out of the way thing for your dog too.

Good luck with your project.
