The Public Safety Division’s Animal Control Services, in collaboration with the Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les Changements climatiques, and de la Faune et des Parcs, will be conducting a “Trap, Vaccinate, Release” (TVR) operation on the Territory beginning on Thursday, November 12, to Friday, November 20, 2026.
The TVR operation aims to vaccinate as many raccoons and skunks as possible in the most densely populated areas of Kahnawà:ke that they roam, where the risk to human health is greatest, as well as near the bridges, to help reduce the risk of rabies spreading. This TVR operation is complementary to the vaccine bait distribution conducted at the end of August.
To ensure the safety of the population and the success of the operation, residents must:
- Keep domestic animals indoors or under supervision to prevent them from being captured in cages;
- Avoid approaching the cages and never attempt to feed or release a captured animal.
For more information, please contact Animal Control Services at 450-632-0635.
