Coyote School Programs

Coyotes have become ever present in the urban environment we share. Our coyote-preparedness education program empowers students (K-7) with the knowledge they need to prevent people-coyote conflicts and how to react appropriately in coyote encounters. Please use our freely available PAC / teacher kit to help build coyote awareness in your school.

Coyotes 101

An interactive multimedia auditorium presentation for students (K-7) that teaches:

  • Coyote identification, behaviour, and how coyotes came to our city
  • How to identify and remove coyote attractants from school grounds and neighbourhood
  • What to do if they encounter a coyote

Venue: Auditorium or Gymnasium

Time: 30 minutes with 5 minutes for questions

Size: 350 students (maximum)
