Moose Encounter!

This recently in from an MPOA member: 

My wife and I had an encounter with a moose at our cottage on the weekend

It apparently has been hanging around cottages on lower Mazinaw.   The MNR was contacted and has provided the following advice:

• This is a real danger
• We need a concerted effort by all all cottagers to have this moose return to the wild
• Do not feed

Here is a link to information on our website regarding feeding wildlife.  I hope you and members of your cottage association find this information helpful.  https://www.ontario.ca/page/feeding-wildlife-dos-and-donts .  You may also find other useful information at: https://www.ontario.ca/page/wildlife-and-nature.
