Samantha Thornton used to spend all her time on the front porch of her charming corner lot home in Leslieville. But lately she’s been forced inside by the noise from sound cannons. The blasts start early, go into the night and give her headaches, she said, “it actually has an impact on my mental state.”
Sound cannons, also known as propane cannons, are being used, near the Leslie Street Spit to discourage the estimated 15,000 ring-billed gulls a year that circle overhead looking to land on the green roof of the Leslie Barns building, located along Lake Shore Boulevard, as well as roofs of nearby businesses.
