Bear Sightings and Fire Watch
Bears have been seen up and down Sugar Lake Road, and at the Landfill. The Ministry of Natural Resources has been called, but everyone is urged to be Bear-Wise. From the Ontario “Prevent Bear Encounters ( https://www.ontario.ca/page/prevent-bear-encounters-bear-wise )”:
Limit food sources
- put garbage in containers that have tight-fitting lids, and put them out only on the morning of garbage day, not the night before (you can purchase specially designed bear-resistant containers, which work best)
- take garbage to the dump often, if you do not have curbside pick-up
- frequently wash garbage cans, recycling containers and lids with a strong-smelling disinfectant
- fill bird feeders only through the winter months
- put away feeders in the spring and instead, offer birds natural alternatives (e.g., flowers, nesting boxes, fresh water)
- do not leave pet food outdoors, in screened- in areas or porches
- do not put meat, fish or fruit in composters outside (keep scraps in the freezer until garbage day)
The current fire hazard rating in Seguin is EXTREME. This means NO open burning and no campfires.
