Please...don't feed the wildlife!

Bordering on a ravine and an abundance of parkland and open spaces, Rockwood has a large population of wildlife literally in our backyard. The coyote population is of particular concern. This year, the City Hotline has already received 60 calls from concerned citizens, representing the total number of calls received in the past year. Animal control advises that the increase in numbers is linked to
residents feeding the coyotes. To halt the practice, the Animal Control By-law has been amended to include a $5000 fine for feeding wildlife.


Call the Animal Control Hotline 905.896.5858 or after business hours 905-615-3000 to report:
• A wildlife contact with a person or pet
• Feeding of wildlife
• Unusual wildlife behavior
• Sick animals


Since we will need to co-exist with the coyote population, you need to ensure that you never leave children and pets unattended in your yard; avoid walking in isolated areas between dusk and dawn however, carry an umbrella, cell phone or audible alarm if you do. Should you encounter a coyote stay calm, hold your ground and never run. If approached, make yourself appear larger by raising your arms and clap your hand or shout to make noise.
