The National Capital Commission is advising residents and farmers to increase
their safety measures as it relates to animals, livestock and pets and to keep
them indoors at night after a coyote was spotted in the Greenbelt along
Woodroffe Ave. NCC officials did not say anything else about the incident or
when if occurred. Hikers, snowshoers, cross-country skiers and all users of the
Greenbelt should stay on official trails and keep their dogs on a leash,
according to the NCC in a release. Its Conservation Officers will continue to
monitor the area and will work with municipal and provincial authorities. The
NCC asks anyone who sees a coyote to call the emergency line 613-239-5353. via
