There have been a number of coyote sightings in our

neighbourhood lately and with coyote mating season

upon us, it’s really just to be expected. Mating season for

coyotes occurs between January and March and

they are somewhat more visible during this time. They

can also be more protective, defensive, territorial, and

hungry around this time and so it’s important to address

concerns regarding our urban coyote population

and remind people how to avoid negative interactions

with these animals with whom we share our fine city.

Benefits of Urban Coyotes

Coyotes are one of Alberta’s native wildlife species and I

think it’s important to remind ourselves that we are

on their territory and also that they play a beneficial role

in urban ecology. Even urban coyotes, who have

access to various human foods, stick to a natural diet for

the most part. This includes fallen fruit, rodents,

geese, and small mammals like rabbits and hares. Coy-

otes really play a major role in keeping these sometimes

troublesome animals’ populations in check. They even

eat some insects! Coyotes also inadvertently protect

songbird populations. Because feral and wandering cats

avoid the coyote’s habitat, songbirds thrive in these

areas.

Preventing Negative Interactions

Attacks by coyotes are very rare. Coyotes do not see hu-

mans as prey. There are every once in a while, animals

that are more aggressive than is normal, and it’s im-

portant to know what to do if you encounter a more

aggressive coyote. Every so often, a dog is attacked by a

coyote, but this is also quite rare considering the

number of homes and dogs in Edmonton.

- Keep dogs on a leash – The City of Edmonton Animal

Licensing and Control Bylaw requires cats and

dogs to be supervised off their property. So avoid letting

your cat roam freely and keep your dog on a

leash. Also, don’t leave small dogs unattended. Even on

your property.

- Do not feed – Either accidentally or on purpose. It’s

important to keep your garbage secure and only

put it out on garbage days. Pick up fallen fruit as well and

keep pet food indoors.

If you do encounter a more aggressive coyote:

- Don’t run. This activates the predator-prey response

and you look like prey!

- Act aggressively toward them. Make lots of noise,

maintain eye contact, and appear as large as

possible.

- Carry a whistle if you walk your dog in areas frequented

by coyotes. Loud noises can scare them

away

- Talk to children about giving wildlife a lot of space and

never to run if they are approached by a

coyote.

Coyotes control their own population size, so culling or

relocating the animals is not helpful. New coyotes

come in to fill the void and females begin having larger

litters.

Remember these rules and appreciate them from afar. In

my opinion, it’s pretty great to have a little bit of the

wild in the city.

about an unkept, vacant property (e.g.

overgrown and uncontrolled weeds or

lawn, unshoveled walks, unsecured

building, advanced state of disrepair),

please report it through City of Edmon-

ton 311. Consider please also notifying

PRESENTS AN OPEN MIC – OLD TIME JAMBOREE

Every Thursday evening starting 7:00 pm at North Glenora Community Hall we host a music jamboree. We have a core of musicians on stage; others sign up to take a turn to sing or play their instrument with the assistance of those backup musicians. Or if dancing is your thing – come out to listen to old time music and dance the night away. If you play an instrument but do not want to go on stage you are welcome to play in the circle on the floor with the other musicians. We generally have about 50 plus people on a Thursday night – some come to dance, other comes to just listen. We sell tickets on a “Chase the Ace” 50/50 Raffle Draw each night – at present the Progressive Pot is worth just over $500. Admission is $5.00 and everyone is welcome – includes coffee, tea and a light lunch served approximately 8:00 p.m.
