Toronto police are warning dog owners about a possible hazardous substance found in High Park.
On Feb. 7, officers responded to reports of what appeared to be dog food and patches of blue snow along the fence line of the dog off-leash area in the park.
“The majority of the food and blue snow was inside the “Forest Regeneration Zone” which is fenced off and separate from the ‘off-leash’ area. However, some of the dog food and a few patches of blue snow were also found within the ‘off-leash’ area,” police said in a news release Wednesday.
Police said samples of the dog food and snow have been sent to Health Canada for testing, as a precaution. The rest of the food and blue snow were cleaned up by Toronto Parks, Forestry & Recreation.
There have been no reports of sick animals in the area, according to police.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact police at 416-808-1100 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
