Wawa Considering Ban on Feeding Wildlife

A ban on feeding wildlife may be on the way for Wawa.

Speaking to Council during this week's Committee of the Whole meeting, Kevin Sabourin - who is Assistant Director of Protective Services, a role that includes by-law enforcement - explained a draft policy to prohibit the feeding of wildlife.

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.

Mayor Melanie Pilon also requested a period of public comment, with Sabourin promising to put it out for consultation.
