Pathway users are advised to stay alert due to recent reports of aggressive coyote activity on the district right of way within the town of Strathmore. Please avoid walking alone at dusk or dawn, keep pets on a leash, and do not leave food or garbage accessible outdoors. If you encounter a Coyote, do not run. Make yourself appear larger, maintain eye contact and slowly back away. Report any aggressive behavior to local bylaw authorities.
