Update on MacIntosh Brook coyote incident. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1J9Y4Qb1mR/

Parks Canada continues to respond to the September 24 incident involving a visitor who was bitten by a coyote at MacIntosh Brook. There has been no significant change to the situation since our last update on Sunday, September 27.

Temporary closures at MacIntosh Brook, Lone Shieling, and nearby look-offs remain in place, and Parks Canada continues to monitor the area. No further visitor interactions with coyotes have been reported since our last update.

Visitors are reminded to respect all closures and give wildlife plenty of space. 

For your safety, do not approach, follow, feed, or attempt to interact with coyotes. If you encounter a coyote, keep your distance, remain calm, make yourself appear large, and slowly back away. Keep children and pets close and under control.

Thank you for respecting wildlife and helping keep both visitors and wildlife safe.
