Municipality of Wawa Seeking Comment on Proposed Wildlife Feeding Ban

The Municipality of Wawa's seeking comments on a proposed ban on feeding wildlife.

Kevin Sabourin - Assistant Director of Protective Services, a role that includes by-law enforcement - explained the draft policy to Council during last week's Committee of the Whole meeting.

Asked how it would be enforced, Sabourin explained the policy would allow the OPP, conservation officers, and himself - as a by-law official - to do so, with plans to forward an approved by-law to the provincial government so tickets could be issued.

At the request of Mayor Melanie Pilon, public comments are being accepted until Tuesday, February 28th, with Sabourin able to provide details about his draft policy.
