Officers have been deployed in the area to search for the wolf.
Port Edward residents are being told to keep a keen eye on their surroundings, and, if they are leaving home, to go out in groups.
The service is also advising people not to let their dogs run loose in the community.
The COS says it is too early to say if the wolf is the same animal recently spotted in the Prince Rupert area.
