There have been a number of coyote sightings recently. January through March is breeding season for coyotes and wildlife in general, so there is heightened activity during this time. If you see a coyote, please contact
Mississauga Animal Services, advising them of the location, date and time of the sighting.
Peel Regional Police are also aware of the coyotes in the area. If you feel you are in immediate danger, call 911.

Quick Tips if you encounter a coyote:
- stay calm and wait until it moves away
- do not turn your back or run (like a dog, this may cause it to chase you)
- if you are approached, stand tall, wave your arms, make yourself as large as possible
- clap, yell, shout loudly, throw something or make startling movements (coyotes avoid scary situations)
- carry a flash light, audible alarm or an umbrella you can open to startle it
- carry a cellphone

As a result of delays in the demolition work, the closing of the Agreement to Purchase and Sale at the Willow Glen School site has been delayed until the end of May, when any outstanding grading/sodding work can be completed.
I will be working with staff to organize a Public Information Session in the Spring.
