City To Study Deer Bylaw

Councillor Bill Farren wants a by-law enacted to prevent people from feeding deer within the city limits.

Farren says he has been getting calls from residents on the west side about deer ending up in their backyards and on their property.

He says residents are worried about a decline in their property values as well as health concerns because getting sick from a wild animal is no joke because they carry ticks.

Council has referred the issue to the city solicitor.
