An increase in the number of complaints over deer in Fort Frances has prompted town officials to issue warnings to residents about feeding the animals.
A by-law prohibiting the feeding of deer is currently in place, and C-A-O Mark McCaig says they will enforce it.
"There have been a lot of people come forward suggesting that certain people are feeding deer," says McCaig. "We would kindly ask you to stop. Our general practise with by-law is to be very consultative and approach people in a reasonable matter. We will continue to do that, but only to a certain extent."
The fine for feeding wildlife is $300 plus a $60 surcharge.
