Toronto's TTC plans to use sound cannons to deter seagulls at Leslie Barns from March to June.

Toronto's TTC plans to use sound cannons to deter a seagull problem at its Leslie Barns facility, where an estimated 10,000-15,000 birds visit and nest annually since it opened in 2015. The sound cannons will not harm the seagulls; instead, they emit a loud noise to scare them away. The cannons will be activated up to four times daily between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., beginning mid-March until the end of June, during the bird's nesting season.
