Wildlife

Please take precautions to avoid conflicts or contact with wildlife:

  • always keep you, your family and pets a safe distance away from wildlife
  • do not feed wildlife or touch wildlife droppings
  • avoid attracting wildlife and do not accidentally provide them with food, water or shelter (for example, feed your pets indoors)
  • always wash your hands and supervise children washing their hands after working or playing outside
  • leave orphaned wild animals alone (parents are often close by and will return for their young)
  • do not approach or touch a sick or dead animal

The Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative (CWHC) has issued who may have reason to handle wildlife, including bats.
