Coyote Safety

Late January through to early March is mating season for coyotes. You may hear them howling or yipping to communicate or see more of them as they actively seek out a mate. 

Coyotes generally do not pose a danger to people but can pose a danger to pets - namely cats and small dogs who can be injured or killed. We ask residents who live or walk near a typical coyote habitat (including ravines, forests and open spaces) to take extra caution during this time.

Find more resources at the bottom of this page.

If the coyote poses a threat to public safety (cornering humans or showing signs of potential rabies), please call 911. Do not call 911 for coyote sightings.
