Cougar sighted in Saanich earlier this evening

Share

This evening, at about 4:20 PM, Saanich Police were alerted to reports of a cougar sighting in the 600-block of McKenzive Ave.

The police immediately did a thorough search of the area, but no big prowling felines were to be seen anywhere.

Conservation officers have also been informed of the sighting.

In the meantime, residents are advised to be careful while out on walks, and to keep their small pets close.

Saanich Police issued a similar advisory last month when a cougar was spotted in the 300-block of Willis Point Road.

Could it possibly be the same one?
