Two moose caused a spectacle in a residential northwest Calgary neighbourhood on Thursday, June 25, 2026, according to CTV News Calgary. The duo was seen roaming through streets and yards, drawing attention from residents and prompting officials to issue safety warnings.
Moose Spotted in Residential Area
The moose were first reported in the early evening, wandering near homes and green spaces. Videos shared on social media showed the animals calmly walking along sidewalks and grazing on vegetation. Calgary police and wildlife officers were dispatched to monitor the situation and ensure public safety.
Public Advised to Keep Distance
Authorities urged residents to stay at least 30 metres away and not to approach or feed the moose. “Moose can be unpredictable, especially when they feel threatened or are protecting young,” said a spokesperson for Alberta Fish and Wildlife. No injuries or property damage were reported.
