Among other things, the certifying body found us to be too cat-friendly
Sault Ste. Marie's fledgling bid to be designated a bird-friendly city has failed to launch from the nest."The city was short by 10," says Emily Cormier, the city's sustainability coordinator.
"Nature Canada’s feedback provides council with a wide-ranging understanding of both policies and projects necessary for supporting a Sault Ste. Marie bird- friendly city certification," Cormier says in a report detailing 16 months of ornithological exertions by city staff, Algoma University's CityStudio and other stakeholders.
"Many of these would also support local biodiversity and urban sustainable development, green space conservation and community ecological health," Cormier said. Over that time, the city organized a local bird team, voted for an official bird , issued a World Migratory Bird Proclamation and reached out to Batchewana First Nation, Garden River First Nation, the Métis Nation of Ontario and Missanabie Cree First Nation.Cormier has suggested that the city "prioritize more impactful initiatives that align with the city's broader environmental goals.
"Once these priorities are addressed, staff can revisit the consideration of the bird-friendly designation," she said.
