The Canada goose population in Como Lake Park has increased to excessive numbers in recent summers. This is due to a seasonal migration of geese during the moulting season in June and July when they replace their feathers and are flightless.

Nearly 200 Canada geese can be counted in the park at this time of year, which is not healthy for the geese, the lake, park users, or other animals. Feeding the geese and the lack of shoreline vegetation are two major factors that make this park attractive to so many geese. To reduce the impact in the short term the City will be relocating the geese when they are flightless in June. To ensure a smaller and more sustainable population of Canada geese over time the City will be:

  • Install temporary shoreline fencing May through June to discourage moulting geese
  • Working with park users to stop all feeding

We appreciate your cooperation.
