On February 15th, we held our first City-wide Coyote information session and it was a very positive meeting.
We had approximately 90 individuals join us online and 30 in-person. Feedback received from those online and in the room was that the presentation was thorough, informative and educational. Many who attended expressed their gratitude for the City’s efforts regarding our coyote management plan and the steps we are taking to help residents and coyotes co-exist in our urban environment.
We received a lot of good engagement during the question and answer period. Residents asked thoughtful questions about best practices around coyote sightings and actions to take; safe guarding smaller pets; coyote habits and population size in Mississauga, how to report a coyote sighting along with many more.
The session was recorded and is now posted on the City’s YouTube channel as well as the City’s news room. Share with any who missed the session or are seeking more information regarding coyotes.
