Operations staff have posted signs as attached to remind residents to be on alert and to not go into woodlots. Please advise staff and contractors to do the same — be aware of surroundings and if they see two dogs or coyotes to seek shelter and call 911. The City and OSPCA will continue its efforts to find those dangerous animals by patrolling and monitoring those areas. Bylaw staff will be posted at the sports fields over the next few nights during permitted use as an added precaution.
