Possible Coyote Sighting at Queensdale

Dear Parents, Guardians and Caregivers,

We have been informed by members of the school community of possible coyote sightings recently on our school property.

I would like to share the following information as a precaution:

According to the City of Hamilton’s website, if you or your children encounter a coyote, please take the following steps to protect yourself:

• Stay calm if a coyote approaches you and wait until they move on.
• Shout, clap your hands together or make a loud noise to scare coyotes away.
• Tell your children to stay away from coyotes and other wildlife.
• Call Animal Services at 905-574-3433 to report injured or dead wildlife.

More information about what you can do about coyotes in the area can be found at the City of Hamilton’s website at https://www.hamilton.ca/animals-pets/wildlife/coyotes.
