⚠️Important Update⚠️ 
The City of Airdrie has halted the lethal trapping of the Nose Creek beavers for the time being! 

The beaver family in Nose Creek is being trapped and euthanized because of their ‘destructive’ behaviours. Beavers contribute greatly to wetland environments and their removal should not be taken lightly.

In fact, in some places in Ontario, the beavers are neither killed or relocated, instead individual cities find humane ways of accommodating these native animals.

Chewing is what beavers do, it is their natural instinct, it is up to The City of Airdrie to enact measures which will allow us to co-exist with them and take the responsibility of making safe neighbourhoods for both people and wildlife.

Should these beavers be killed the already failing health of Nose Creek will deteriorate further. Beavers have a huge effect on the ecosystem. In fact, they are a keystone species, and are responsible for creating a habitat which many other species rely on. 

There are several other answers to the problem than trapping and killing these animals.

In 2022 there is no excuse to be killing wildlife. Sign the petition and save our beavers!
