Feeding wildlife is prohibited on both public and private property in Oakville

On April 24, Town Council approved an amendment to the Lot Maintenance By-law prohibiting feeding wildlife and leaving food out to attract animals.
Feeding wildlife may seem harmless, however it can have serious impacts on both animals and the community. Problems that could arise include:

The town recommends that residents and property owners keep their property tidy, removing all water and food sources from one’s yard, including birdseed and ripe/rotted fruit that has fallen to the ground and storing garbage, compost and pet food in a place where wildlife cannot access it. Remove long grass, dead brush and wood piles as well.
