Coyote Watch Canada is a Federal Not-For-Profit community-based, wildlife organization which advocates positive human wildlife experiences. Our successful community coexistence framework is achieved through education, research, mediation, intervention, and conflict resolution.
Coyote Watch Canada is headquartered in the traditional territory of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, Mississaugas and Anishinaabe People. This territory is guided by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Agreement. Together we strive to honour, respect, and protect the sacred lands, waters, wildlife, and natural resources in that the Dish may never be empty for the generations that follow. These lands are also home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit People many of whom continue to live and work here today.

Repeating the idea that wolves “lure” pets can unintentionally reinforce fear-based narratives, portraying wildlife as deceptive or malicious. That framing doesn’t just oversimplify complex animal behaviour; it can also undermine public support for coexistence and conservation.
Eastern coyote and fox sightings are not uncommon throughout Ontario and across North America. This vital keystone species has been an essential aspect in the landscape for over a century.
