Wolf advisory issued for Banff campground

Parks Canada is warning campers to use extra caution at the Two Jack Lakeside Campground after wolves were reported frequenting the area.

Officials say the animals have been showing unusually bold behaviour.

Visitors are urged not to approach or feed wildlife, and to store all food, garbage, and pet food securely inside a vehicle or building. Pets must be leashed, and children should be closely supervised.

Campers are advised to carry bear spray, report all wolf or carnivore sightings to Banff Dispatch, and act aggressively if a wolf approaches.
