Wildlife in the Community: Coyotes

​

There have been reports of coyote sightings around the community. It's important that residents are mindful and aware of the various wildlife that live in the green spaces that surround this community, as well as to take some precautions to keep yourself and your small pets safe.

​

Here are some precautions you can take to avoid attracting coyotes:

​

  • avoid letting your small pets outside unattended.

  • avoid walking after dark or in the early morning hours.

  • avoid feeding your pets outside as this can attract wildlife.

  • use a non-retractable leash when walking.

  • attach keys or another noise generating item to your person for your walk so your presence is known.

​

Here are some tips to keep in mind if you come across a coyote on your walk:

​

  • never approach or touch a wild animal.

  • do not turn your back or run from a wild animal.

  • back away from the animal while remaining calm.

  • stand tall, wave and clap your hands, and make lots of noise.

  • carry a flashlight at night.

  • consider a personal audible alarm which can deter a coyote.

Wildlife in the Community: Foxes

​

There have been reports of fox sightings around the community. It's important that residents are mindful and aware of the various wildlife that live in the green spaces that surround this community, as well as to take some precautions to keep yourself and your small pets safe.

​

Here are some important things to remember to avoid attracting foxes:

​

  • When a food source is available, they will stay in the area. Therefore, do not leave food out (i.e., dog/cat food, birdseed, garbage). It is important not to feed wildlife. 

  • This is the time of the year they will be looking for a place to build their den in order to have a litter. Thus, look around your property to make sure there is no place they can enter such as openings (slots/holes) in the raised decks. If you notice any openings, you should block the entrance. 

  • If the fox is being a nuisance, hit pots and pans and they should run away.

​

Please note: if humans build a relationship with a fox and the fox is captured by the appropriate authorities, the fox can no longer be rehabilitated back to the wild because they lose their fear of humans and they will then have to euthanized.

Please avoid all interactions with foxes.

Scams: What to Avoid

It is very important to always be aware of potential scams in your day-to-day activities.

 

You may receive phone calls from various companies - including ones that you are a current customer of - that are not actually coming from the actual business. These agents impersonate familiar companies in an effort to get your information, usually by:

 

  • asking you to click on a specific link they want to send you

  • asking you to provide access to your device (screen control)

  • asking you to phone or text a certain number they will send you

  • asking you to visit a specific website for any reason

  • asking you to provide (or confirm) any personal information.

 

If at any time you receive an unexpected or unusual call from a familiar company, it is advised to be critical of the information you are being presented with. You should reach out to the company using contact information from a trusted source (such as a previous bill).

 

If you have been a victim (or a scam was attempted on you), please report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. You can also view more information about other scams that Canadians have reported.
