COUNCILLOR INQUIRIES

3.1

Wildlife Management (M. Walters)

Recently, it appears that coyote activity has increased in the City of Edmonton. Reports indicate that coyotes are more aggressive and brazen in our communities, with both citizens and family pets. Could Administration provide a report on whether the number of coyote incidents are increasing, why and when they are aggressive, how to determine when coyote behaviour becomes nuisance behaviour, and how Administration is currently responding to coyote incidents?
