Lac Pelletier Regional Park issued a statement this morning warning residents in the area of a cougar sighting.

According to their Facebook post, a large cougar was spotted last night around dusk in the Westview area and was heading toward the lake.

The Park is advising people to be cautious with their animals, as they assume the cougar may stick around due to the dense population of deer in the area.
