New lights have been installed at Mill Lake Park in an effort to deter geese.
The new lit buoys float in the lake and were installed as part of the city's Canada goose population control program.
According to Environment Canada, numbers of Canada geese have increased dramatically in recent decades and are now at unprecedented numbers.
The lights in Mill Lake are solar powered, flashing amber LED lights that they city says will discourage the geese from nesting by disrupting their roosting patterns at nights.
