The B.C. Conservation Officer Service (BCCOS) has issued a warning after wolves were spotted in Colwood late last week.<\/p>\n
The provincial body said it received a report on June 22 that two juvenile wolves were in the Olympian Way area, near the Olympic View Golf Club.<\/p>\n
The animals were spotted two days earlier, on June 20.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are encouraged to take precautions in case of wolf encounters, such as ensuring pets are leashed and being aware of surroundings,\u201d the BCCOS said in a statement to the Goldstream News Gazette.<\/p>\n
\u201cNever approach wolves and give them space if seen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Though no aggressive or conflict behaviour was noted, the BCCOS placed signage in the area for public awareness.<\/p>\n
Conservation officers will continue to monitor wolf activity in the area and respond as necessary to ensure public safety.<\/p>\n
While wolves are generally not a threat to humans, all aggressive wolf behaviour should be reported to the BCCOS at 1-877-952-7277.<\/p>\n
