LETTER: A solution to duckling danger

After hearing of multiple ducking rescue operations from street grates in Oak Bay, Sannich, and Victoria, I have a suggestion. No studies needed. In baby duck season and around noted areas, lift grates and set a sturdy, wide mesh across the hole, replace the grate, trim edges, and use one zap strap to secure mesh to the grate and remove all after hatching season.
