"We weren’t welcome": Family says BC restaurant denied them entry due to autism service do

A New Westminster family says they were denied access to a Port Moody restaurant on New Year’s Day because of their service dog. John Wynn says his son Mateo, who has autism, has a service dog in training. Wynn told Global News they arrived at the Boathouse restaurant next to Rocky Point Park, where they had a reservation, and asked for a low table because they have a service dog. That’s when he says the hostess went to get the manager. Wynn said they have paperwork for the dog, named Bonnie, but they didn’t have it with them. She was wearing a vest that said 'service dog in training.' As Global's Kristen Robinson reports, the family hopes to raise awareness about the rights of people using service dogs.
