The federal and provincial governments are helping Ontario's livestock, poultry and bee farmers by ensuring more consistent, transparent and timely appeals processes and compensation when their animals are injured or killed by predatory wildlife.
The updated Ontario Wildlife Damage Compensation Program (OWDCP) will clearly define the requirements farmers need to meet to receive compensation.
Please review our How It Works Tip Sheet (PDF) and Frequently Asked Questions (PDF) document.
Note: Claims for livestock killed or injured after will need to have a Premises ID number and a valid Farm Business Registration number, or one of the allowable exemptions for that claim to be eligible.
The Information Sheet (PDF) explains how to apply for these numbers.
