This morning while delivering my mail route a flock of Canada Geese flew over me, trailing in one back corner was a SNOW GOOSE. As soon as I finished work I went straight to the nearest pond and found it swimming with about a hundred or so Canada Geese. The location is Professors Lake in Brampton, take 410 to bovaird, right on bovaird to Bramalea Rd, turn right on Bramalea and first left takes you into Professors Lake, parking lot on right side and walk over hill and down to lake.
