Full RecordingA. Miller, 2446 Park Ridge Place, and M. Austin, 1938 Riverside Drive, Re: Wildlife Attractant Bylaw
Council asked staff to investigate options for a new bylaw and the provision of bear-proof waste bins to reduce human-wildlife conflict.
"Residents A. Miller and M. Austin detailed the tragic necessity of bear euthanization following improper waste management. They advocated for a new bylaw requiring secure waste storage, clean barbecues, and timely curb placement, modeling successful bylaws in other BC municipalities. They requested bear-proof bins, suggesting a pilot program near Thetis Lake Park, and noted funding could be sourced from grants."
