August 28, 2025 6:30-7:30pm Valley Park Library
My office has received several reports of an aggressive coyote that may have denned in Valley Park. Animal Control reports 19 complaints about a coyote approaching people. The City has placed warning signs to help prevent encounters. We are also hosting a Coyote Awareness Information Session at Valley Park Library on August 28th at 6:30pm. It is free to everyone and all attendees will be given a free Fox Forty Emergency Whistle.
City of Hamilton Animal Control staff will be present to share helpful tips as to how you can protect yourself, your family and your property from coyote encounters.
Special thanks for the co-operation of Fox Forty and the Foxcroft family. Through their generosity, we have purchased 200 Fox Forty emergency whistles. They recognized the seriousness of this issues and were eager to assist. Thank you, Ron and Ronnie.
I wish to thank a Ward 9 resident, Collen Graham, who reached out to my office and suggested the distribution of emergency whistles to residents, who hike or walk these trails. It was a great idea.
I also want to thank Nancy Mungar, who acted quickly and installed professional signs warning people of the presence if coyotes in Valley Park. I appreciate your willingness to sponsor these signs. Thank you!
The city has installed signs similar to below:
