Alright, so here's the sitch. A cougar was spotted straight vibin' near Glenlyon Norfolk School around 8 a.m. on Bank Street. The school was like, "Heads up, fam! Stay safe!" and they called the B.C. Conservation Officers Service ASAP.

But wait, there's more! Turns out, there have been other cougar sightings in Saanich, like near Lambrick Park Secondary School and Braefoot Elementary School. Plus, Central Saanich and Sidney are also part of this cougar drama. It's like a whole cougar convention out here!
