In Canada, even our geese are polite. Sometimes.

Central Community Church youth pastor and TikToker Jonathan Kornelsen captured an unusual sight along Lillooet Avenue in a recent video, posted Friday, March 16. A flock of Canada geese marched across the street, right on the crosswalk.

“There’s literally geese walking across the crosswalk in Harrison Hot Springs,” the video’s text-to-voice narrator says. “They got this place down tight.”

There wasn’t a car in sight at the time, so it’s not immediately clear if the orderly procession would’ve yielded to traffic.

Canada geese are a very common sight around Harrison Hot Springs all year round, whether swimming in Harrison Lake or taking a meal break on the promenade around the shore.

The video has been viewed more than 700 times on TikTok and has attracted the attention – and amusement – of local social media groups.
