Canada Geese on Little Lake

Canada Geese are a majestic bird, long necked with black and white contrast creating a wonderful natural sight. Most of us love to watch them fly during their migration. Our problem is that the Canada Geese on Little Lake are not migrating.

Canadian Wildlife Services Egg Oiling Permit

This committee with the help of many fellow cottagers have been collecting property owner permissions to oil goose eggs on their properties. At the present time we have about 400 names plus the 236 members of Port Severn Campers Association to submit to Canadian Wildlife Services. Ministry of Natural Resources and both Severn and Georgian Bay Township Councils have given their support to the GPCA for egg oiling in accordance with Canadian Wildlife Services permits on their properties. Businesses on the lakes are also on our list.
