On November 2, 2026, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Pelican Narrows RCMP received a report of an adult injured by dogs on McKay Street in Pelican Narrows. 

Pelican Narrows RCMP officers responded immediately and located the injured adult on McKay Street. 

RCMP officers provided immediate medical assistance to the injured adult and transported them in their RCMP vehicle to the health clinic, where their injuries were described as life-threatening. Our thoughts are with them and their family as they continue to receive medical treatment. Saskatchewan RCMP will not be providing an update on their condition, nor providing any further identifying details.

After leaving the clinic, police officers returned to the scene to further investigate the incident. They located three dogs nearby that investigation determined were involved in this incident. In the interest of public safety, police officers put down the three dogs.

Pelican Narrows RCMP continue to investigate this incident.

This is the second dog-related injury recently reported to Pelican Narrows RCMP.

The previous incident occurred at approximately 1:30 p.m. on October 31, 2026. Pelican Narrows RCMP responded to the report of an adult at the medical clinic who had been injured by a dog. Officers investigated and located the dog determined to be involved in the October 31 incident. The owners of the dog ultimately put this dog down following discussion with police.

The two incidents are considered separate and did not involve the same owners, nor the same dogs.

“Yesterday, Pelican Narrows RCMP officers responded to a horrific incident which resulted in severe injuries to a community member. This event has undoubtedly impacted the community and the police officers who responded. We welcome the opportunity to meet with Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation to determine next possible steps to ensure community safety, but policing is not the sole solution to aggressive animals. Generally speaking, police become involved in aggressive animal situations when criminality is suspected,” said Staff Sergeant Scott Kirychuk, Pelican Narrows RCMP Detachment Commander. “In the meantime, we recommend that Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation dog owners do not let their dogs run free. A dog may not be aggressive when alone, but its behaviour may change when it’s in a pack. To avoid this, ensure your dogs are tied up or kept inside a fenced area.”
