Wildlife issues need to be reported to province, city says

City of Cranbrook residents are reminded that if you see or have issues with any wildlife, please call the Provincial RAPP line to report it at 1-877-952-7277, 24 hours a day, seven days per week.

This information is passed along directly to the local branch of the Conservation Officer Service, where it is recorded and depending on the wildlife issue it will be responded to.

Please do not contact City of Cranbrook Bylaw staff or the local branch of the SPCA with wildlife issues. They are only able to deal with domestic animals – not wildlife.

However, around issues with urban deer, residents are encouraged to contact the RAPP line first, but are also asked to report the issue to the City of Cranbrook for its records by calling 250-426-4211 or emailing [email protected].

City staff may not be able to respond directly to all emails or phone messages around urban deer issues, however staff will be sure to record those complaints.
