The City of Mississauga has recently issued a specialized coyote awareness alert for Malton and surrounding areas to help residents safely co-exist with local wildlife. This seasonal focus is particularly important during the spring months because it coincides with coyote denning season, a time when these animals are more active and potentially more protective of their territory. As they seek out safe places to raise their pups, coyotes are frequently spotted in residential backyards, local parks like Paul Coffey Park, and the wooded areas near the airport.
