       The City of Toronto is investigating after a large number of dead fish
       were found floating in Grenadier Pond in High Park.
        
       In a statement, the city said the fish found in the pond were
       Bluegill, a freshwater fish native to North America that is typically
       found in ponds, streams, lakes, and rivers.
        
       The city said the die-off occurred at some point in mid-April.
        
       A person who contacted CP24 said they observed hundreds of dead fish
       in the water during a recent visit to the park.
        
       "We are currently working alongside the Toronto and Region
       Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Environment, Conservation
       and Parks to investigate the cause of mortality of the fish as it
       remains unclear at this time," a statement from a city spokesperson
       read.
        
       The spokesperson added that water samples were collected last week and
       officials are still awaiting the results.
