British Columbia conservation officers are monitoring the area and reminding residents to be vigilant after multiple reports of cougar sightings in Colwood over the weekend.
In one instance Sunday, a cougar was preying upon a dead deer in the driveway of a home on Matilda Drive, between Esquimalt Lagoon and Royal Roads University.
Other community group members posted photos and videos of a pair of cougars in the area through the day and into the night. Two months earlier, a jogger called 911 after a cougar approached and followed her while she was running stairs in Latoria Creek Park. "Pet owners should be cautious of allowing cats out from dusk till dawn in areas where cougars are known to be."
