Village of Sturgeon Point, ON, Canada
Many of you will be arriving for this first long weekend of the season, and here’s an opportunity to get together with the neighbours to tidy up the Village. Bring your rake, some gloves, and a garbage bag or two. Teams will be organized to tidy up the streets, the Park, and the other public spaces.
Refreshments will be served!
It’s that time of year again, and we would like to remind all area residents about the importance of bear safety in our community.
There have been several incidents in the past few weeks where bears have been very active, tipping garbage cans, rummaging looking for any source of food.
Please help by ensuring that all garbage is secure, and putting your garbage out until the morning is also a good practice.
The Ministry of Natural Resources has released the provincial bear reporting hot-line number. Its toll-free and a part of the Bear Wise program, which educates people on how to avoid attracting bears. The number to remember is 1-866-514-2327.
