An Acton woman is wondering what could be done to prevent another incident of a Canada Goose getting tangled up in a soccer net af- ter one of the birds was found dead in Rotary Park Tuesday morning. Ruth Queen was out for a walk with her dog when she noticed the lifeless goose tan- gled up in the netting of the soccer goal posts at the west end of the park, which is located beside Fairy Lake. Staff from the Town of Halton Hills re- moved and disposed of the goose later that morning. "My problem is why do they have to leave the netting up all the time? Can't they just put it up when they're actually playing soccer on it?" asked Queen, who resides on Elizabeth Dr. Warren Harris, manager of Parks & Open Space for the Town of Halton Hills, said the matter is being investigated and Environment Canada has been informed about the incident. "This is a first-time occurrence for some- thing like this happening," said Harris. "We have reported it to Environment Can- ada and await word from them about what measures might be taken." In 2007, the Town obtained a permit from Environment Canada to apply a dissolving oil to goose eggs in an effort to keep the popu- lation of the large birds from growing in the area.
