Although a warning is in place for these areas, elk can be encountered anywhere in Kananaskis Country and at any time. Minimize your chance of conflict with elk by:

• Being aware of your surroundings
• Keeping your pet on a leash at all times
• Keeping your distance. Stay at least 3 bus lengths away
• Not approaching elk or their calves. Female elk can be especially aggressive during the May – June calving season
• Leaving newborn calves alone. (SPRING ONLY) Newborns will spend much of their time alone in their early days and will appear lifeless in order to avoid detection by predators. Their mother is not far away.

Please report all aggressive elk encounters immediately to 403-591-7755.
