Back yard of Innis and Judy Harvey (Eastside Avenue)
House shown across the Avenue
Mature cougar walking west to east just below roof ridge and dropping down onto a lawn.
Inspection of the home indicates no tree close enough to help the cougar. Likely jumped onto the roof of a small passenger van and a short leap to the roof on the south side – adjacent to Coyote and Eastside.
Judy called the Conservation Service and RCMP were notified. No known follow-up.
Event was Sunday evening at dusk.
:::
Around 9:00pm last night I was reading in the back yard and happened to glance up to see a large cougar crossing a roof on a house at the corner of Eastside Drive and Coyote Street This is a very densely populated area with lots of small animals and children visiting.
The cougar dropped to the ground in that yard.
Called RCMP who called the Conservation officer in Summerland. I immediately called everyone that I knew that had a small animal or child to alert them.
Word spread quickly and thinking that is the only way we can deal with such a situation. Scary stuff…. We all have to be aware
