A program to cull invasive, nonmigratory Canada geese in British Columbia’s North Okanagan has the strong support of Vernon city council.
Councillors have voted 6-1 in favour of the program to spend up to $40,000 to eliminate as many as 250 geese.
Only Mayor Victor Cumming voted against the cull, which still needs a management plan from wildlife biologist as well as federal and provincial approval.
