  • 2013 Gopher Bait Station Program – The Town is attempting to minimize the number of badgers moving into our parks and open-spaces by reducing the number of gophers in these areas for the badgers to feed on. Town Parks Staff will be putting out gopher bait stations in many areas of the community, including the off-leash dogs areas and want to inform dog owners so they can monitor their dogs when off-leash. The bait stations will be clearly marked; however smaller dogs may try and get at the bait to eat it, so owners need to be vigilant in all areas of the community, particularly when your dog is in off-leash areas. The bait stations will be used in the spring months. Please contact the Town Office at (403) 625-3381 with any questions or concerns regarding this program. You can view a map of the off-leash areas HERE.
