There are many public and private lakes (including those run by the C of

their migratory path, until people thought it would be cute or helpful
to feed them.


I don't think that's an accurate assessment. Migratory and non-migratory Canada geese are different
subspecies. Branta canadensis maxima being the larger non-migratory goose.
