Orléans Park has been closed down after a 14-year-old boy was injured in a coyote attack ‼️😳🇨🇦
The teen was riding his bike through Lalande Conservation Park in Orléans when he was reportedly attacked by three coyotes. He suffered injuries to his leg and later received precautionary rabies treatment.
In response, the City of Ottawa has temporarily closed the affected section of the park, expanded warning signs and fencing, and continues monitoring a nearby coyote den. Residents in the area say they’ve become increasingly concerned after multiple coyote sightings and encounters in recent weeks.
City officials are reminding the public to avoid the closed area, keep pets on a leash, never feed coyotes, and report any aggressive behaviour. The closure will remain in place while wildlife experts assess the situation and determine when it is safe to reopen.
