The City of Hamilton issued 15 trespassing tickets on Wednesday at Albion Falls to those ignoring the posted signs and newly installed fencing following numerous reports of rope rescues in the area.
The persistent off-trail exploration has prompted the city to issue a reminder that by-law enforcement officers are on patrol and will continue to give out the $135 trespassing tickets.
