Wildlife
The Township of Ignace is home to an abundance of wildlife species, like moose, black bear, wolf, lynx, white-tailed deer, beaver and muskrat. While it is enjoyable to view these animals in their natural habitats, they can also pose a threat to residents’ safety when they get too close to populated areas and homes. Preventative measures such as not feeding wildlife, keeping garbage in sealed containers and/or ensuring that all food is kept indoors, averts the possibility of an undesirable occurrence or wildlife-human interactions.
