A mama moose and her two calves that were hanging around a school in St. Albert for the past few weeks have been moved by Fish and Wildlife officers.

The moose had been frequenting the area around École Secondaire Sainte Marguerite d'Youville along Boudreau Road.

On Tuesday, officers "were able to successfully immobilize the three moose and relocate them together at a more suitable natural area outside the city," Alberta Fish and Wildlife Enforcement wrote on Facebook.

"It is important for people to keep in mind that natural areas that form a part of a wildlife corridor exist in our communities, with many species travelling through at any given time."

Officers included a list of tips for dealing with moose:

People who have concerns about public safety or a moose in distress are asked to call Fish and Wildlife on the Report a Poacher line at 1-800-642-3800.
