An upcoming policy in Pickering will ban rat poison and other rodenticides on all city properties.
On Monday, the city council heard from delegates about the risks posed to dogs as they chase poisoned animals in their backyards.

Despite opposition from residents, the Saanich council unanimously approved Wednesday evening a strategy that includes mandating leeches for pets at 84 per cent of the district’s park space.
