The City of Thunder Bay has many species of wildlife. Although we enjoy seeing them in their natural habitat, problems can happen when wild animals make their homes in our backyards. Preventative measures, such as removing garbage and pet food from the vicinity of your house, will reduce the chance of a bad encounter. Learn about the Norway Rat and methods to discourage them from being on your property.
If you see aggressive life-threatening wildlife, call 911 or the local police.
If you see injured or sick larger wildlife (moose, deer, bear, wolf) and/or orphaned wildlife, call the Ministry of Natural Resources at 807-475-1471.
Property owners are responsible for the disposal of small dead animals on their own property.
Contact a Wildlife Agent to remove nuisance wildlife.
