Spring is coyote pupping season 

Coyotes play a crucial role in our ecosystems and are common in urban areas like Oakville. They become more visible in the spring when they are having pups.

Please remember:
- never approach a 
  coyote, their dens or pups
- never intentionally or 
  unintentionally leave food 
  out for wildlife
- keep pets on a short      
  leash and attended to 
  when on your property
