The town of Blackfalds in central Alberta is looking at ways of dealing with rowdy Canada geese. At a meeting this week, Blackfalds town council heard complaints about Canada geese hissing at residents, waddling in large groups through neighbourhoods and destroying front yards. The town of Blackfalds, Alta is dealing with rowdy geese moving from marshlands to nearby streets. "For the residents on those streets it's disturbing to have flocks of geese walking down their streets, and geese have known to come walking down their streets," Poole said. The permits officer said Canada geese populations are on the rise and permits to manage them have tripled over the past decade.
