Coexisting with Saskatoon’s urban wildlife
May 12, 2026 - 9:00am
- Do not feed wildlife: You are not helping them. Feeding wild animals can make them lose their natural fear of humans, leading to increased encounters and potential conflicts. City Bylaw prohibits the feeding of wildlife on all public and private property in Saskatoon and may result in fines.
- Respect wildlife: They are not pets. Keep wildlife wild by not approaching or attempting to touch them.
- Use hazing techniques: If you encounter a wild animal, make loud noises, wave your arms and throw small objects towards (but not at) it to scare it away. Do not run or turn your back.
- Secure food sources: Keep garbage, compost, birdseed and pet food out of reach and tightly sealed.
- Keep pets safe: Always supervise pets when they are outside, especially at night. While out on a walk, have pets under your control and on a leash in areas known to have wildlife.
- Report unusual behaviour: If the animal is acting unusual (e.g., approaching people, staggering or acting confused), call Customer Care at 306-975-2476. If the animal is acting aggressive, contact the Saskatoon Police Service non-emergency line at 306-975-8300. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
As warmer weather approaches, it’s important to remember that we share our urban spaces with many species of wildlife such as coyotes, foxes, geese, jackrabbits and raccoons.
Encountering urban wildlife in Saskatoon is normal and these animals play a vital role in our ecosystem. Understanding how to coexist with them can ensure safety for both the wildlife and our community.
Here are some important tips for coexisting with urban wildlife:
By following these guidelines, we can co-exist safely and prevent unwanted encounters with the wildlife that share our urban spaces.
