Follow the Town’s New Live Goose Cam & Guess The Hatch Date

The Town of Whitby has two new residents, with more to come! Two local Canada Geese have decided that Town Hall is where they want to nest.

Town staff have affectionately named the mama, Whitley, and the Town invites all residents to follow her maternity journey live on the Town’s new Goose cam.

Guess her hatch date and you will be automatically entered to win a Whitby prize pack, and bragging rights, of course.

The Town wants to ensure the mama and her babies stay safe, so ask residents to watch her from the live feed and give her space if you need to come to Town Hall. If you need to drop off your taxes after-hours, we ask that you take extra care when using the drop box.
