With increased raccoon activity on campus, this is a reminder that raccoons are attracted to areas where food waste and other food sources are easy to access. With a growing raccoon population on Burnaby Mountain, this can lead to increased wildlife activity around campus buildings. Feeding or approaching wildlife can make animals sick or aggressive, reduce their natural survival skills, and increase the risk of unsafe interactions with people, pets and other wildlife.

Terry Fox Field is undergoing a turf replacement through mid-August to bring the field up to modern safety and playability standards. The field is closed during construction, but most of the running track will remain available throughout the project. Some inside lanes will be closed. Watch for construction vehicles crossing Gaglardi Way and follow posted signs and traffic personnel.

Feeding or approaching wildlife can increase unsafe encounters and harm animals. Help keep wildlife wild by properly disposing of garbage and keeping your distance. Learn how to help keep wildlife and the campus community safe at SFU Wildlife Safety. sfu.ca/srs/campus-saf…
