COQUITLAM, B.C., Feb. 13, 2023 – Coquitlam and Port Moody have enlisted the Stanley Park Ecology Society to offer free information sessions for residents to learn how to safely co-exist with urban coyotes.
Register to Attend One of Two Free Information Sessions
Coyote breeding season is underway, which means coyotes will be more vocal and active as they secure their territory between now and April. Minimizing conflicts between coyotes, humans and pets is important in protecting the safety of our community, and our urban wildlife.
Presented by Nadia Xenakis, the Urban Wildlife Programs Coordinator for the Stanley Park Ecology Society (SPES), these one-hour sessions will provide information about the coyote breeding season and common misconceptions about urban coyotes, as well as tips to help keep your family and pets safe. This includes what to do if you encounter a coyote and ways to manage attractants. All ages are welcome to attend.
