Cougar in Townsite
Please note that a cougar has been sighted hunting deer fawns in the community several times over the last few nights (between 8:30 pm and 5:00 am).
While the cougar has not yet been aggressive, it is not showing sufficient wariness around people.

-It was a few years ago a cougar grabbed a few dear in the townsite. It made one kill behind the Crandell Lodge. That was taken away, so it made another....
I always hate going to the backyard at night. Too many deer hang out there, in too many trees. If i was a cougar I know where I would go for an easy meal.

Parks Canada regrets to say that, in order to protect public safety, we
have put down a cougar that was frequenting the town over several nights.
Public Safety staff assessed that the cougar’s lack of wariness and
continued presence in a high use area of the park posed a significant risk
to visitors and community members, and made the decision to put down the
animal.
