There has been another report of a wolf biting someone, this time around the Boundary Creek area.

The Department of Environment and Climate Change (ECC) posted the notice on its social media feed Monday afternoon telling of a lone grey wolf approaching a group of tourists out viewing the Northern lights Saturday morning. One person was bitten, stated the department, and there was no indication of the severity of the bite.

The department stated that wildlife officers have been patrolling Highway 3 between from the city past Boundary Creek and homeowners have been notified about what's going on.

This incident follows one last month in the Ranney Hill Trail area near Vee Lake where a lone grey wolf became aggressive and bit a trail walker. It's not known if the wolf was killed, but that a wolf was taken out by wildlife officers shortly after the initial incident.

If you do encounter a wolf, the department suggests several things you should do in order to lessen the chance of being attacked. They include:

• Raise your arms to make yourself appear as large as possible
• Act aggressively towards it SA¹ú¼ÊÓ°ÊÓ´«Ã½“ make noise and throw objects
• Do not turn your back on the wolf and do not run
• If the wolf does not run away immediately, continue making yourself large, maintaining eye contact, and backing away
• Calmly, but slowly back away and maintain eye contact
• If you encounter a wolf and your dog is present, bring your dog to heel at your side as soon as possible. Standing between your dog and the wolf usually ends an encounter. Do not try and break up a physical fight between the wolf and your dog to avoid any risk of injury to yourself

If you spot a wolf, you're asked to call ECC's North Slave office at 867-446-2073.
