Cougar alert!

A large cougar was spotted walking eastward along the shore of a private residence about 1/2 way down Boultbee Road at 6:30 am on Saturday, September 20. Later that morning, cougar tracks were observed in the forest at the end of the road. This is the second sighting of a cougar on Boultbee Road this summer so it is likely our neighbourhood is within the territory of this roaming predator. Residents must always be mindful of their proximity to wildlife and ensure that their neighbours are informed of sightings so that extra precaution can be taken, particularly with the safety of vulnerable children and pets.
