Perhaps the title for this blog post is a bit provocative – I’ll admit that. But, I have received many emails as a city councillor,and now as your mayor, of some scary situations our citizens have been in with geese.
Some emails are of people being attacked, children unable to walk down their own sidewalks to go to school and so on…
Of course it’s not just those issues but health issues too. Some of our parks are becoming unbearable to be in from their poop everywhere. (Yes I said poop).
So staff are proposing we look into a policy to try and help with this situation. Thank goodness. Lots of communities have had to come to grips with this issue too and so we can learn from how they handle it, and then see what is best for Guelph. We’ll discuss it at committee on Oct 5th.
