We have posted awareness signage about the siting and ask that if you see the cougar,  call the Fish and Wildlife Lethbridge Office immediately at 403-381-5266. If it is safe to do so please take a photo of the animal.  In an emergency call 911.

• Face the cougar, do not turn your back towards it.
• Do not run or encourage a chase, walk backward away.
Appear Large
• Do not bend over or crouch down.
