Coyote Activity in the Elm Drive and Kariya Drive Area

Some residents in Ward 7 have reported increased coyote activity near Elm Drive and Kariya Drive. The City’s Animal Services team is actively responding and working with the community to promote safety and awareness.

Animal Services has connected with Fairview Public School and Elm Drive Public School, providing educational materials and offering safety presentations. Two presentations are scheduled at Elm Drive Public School on April 17, with additional sessions being considered.

The City has also noted that intentional wildlife feeding, including in park areas, can attract coyotes and contribute to increased activity. Residents are reminded that feeding wildlife is discouraged, as it can change animal behaviour and create safety concerns.
