Cedar Point News Bulletin Regarding Raccoons

***in all publications, websites and social media***

Press Release From the office of Mayor Shirley Douglas

Cedar Point Citizens, we have had several reports of nuisance raccoons and related incidents. This season seems to be bringing in a larger than normal population of the animals. Please do not be alarmed. These incidents are preventable and if we all take the proper precautions we can reduce nuisance raccoons and the risk of disease. We've started a Cedar Point Community Task Force to assist in education. Volunteers will be coming to your door with printed information in the next few days and will be happy to answer some of your questions.


The rabies vaccine will be available at the Cedar Point Clinic as of Thursday, April 7th for those who wish to be immunized. This is not considered an outbreak or essential immunization so it will not be covered under Canadian Medicare. Whether or not you chose vaccination, please seek medical attention immediately if you are bitten or scratched by a raccoon or any wild animal.
