In the past few weeks, there have been at least three attacks in the Mount Nolan community.

In both incidents, the victims required hospitalization after being attacked.

“As mentioned earlier, the coyotes of Mount Nolan are extremely bold and aggressive,” city spokesperson Keira Raglan said in an email to CBC News.

“Citizen safety is the number one priority. The city supports and encourages peaceful coexistence with coyotes through public education and actively manages them when needed.”

She said the city has achieved great success in its bullying program that limits the number of negative interactions between people and the coyote, but these efforts have been unsuccessful for the coyote.

Ragland said that from January to June this year, the city received 311 coyote complaints, a 20% decrease from the same period last year.

Tips to stay safe around coyotes

The city stated that having a healthy urban coyote population is an important part of Calgary’s biodiversity, especially in helping to control the population of rodents and other wildlife.

This City website Provide the following tips for good coyotes relationships:

• Admire all the wild animals from a distance.
• Never feed coyotes or leave pet food (including bird seeds) outside.
• Pay attention to where your children are and don’t leave them alone.
• Bring loud whistle or other noise-making equipment in areas with coyotes.
• Throw all the trash into a container in the park and pick it up after your pet.
• In a park with a leash, be sure to keep your dog on a leash. In an area without a leash, if there are coyotes or in the area, please have your dog on a leash. A shorter leash makes the dog safer.
• Keep your cat indoors.
• Pick up the dog’s feces.
• If you encounter problems in the yard, please close/block the area under the porch, deck or steps.

If you encounter a ferocious coyote or a coyote approaching you, the city recommends:

• Don’t turn around or run away.
• Frighten it by yelling and waving your arms.
• Thump or clink the jar on the animal.
• Keep eye contact and step back slowly.

Lincoln Jolie, head of integrated pest management at the Calgary Parks Department, said: “When you go out, you may want to bring a loud whistle or some noise-making equipment.” “The most important thing is to stay vigilant in the community.”
