FIELD, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA — In the spring of 2023, a Parks Canada team strung electric fence along a section of the Trans Canada Highway from Lake Louise to the B.C.-Alberta boundary.
It was part of an attempt to help keep animals including a beloved white grizzly bear named Nakoda away from the dangers of the road. But tragedy struck last month when Nakoda's two cubs were struck and killed by a vehicle, followed by their mother, killed in a second collision about 12 hours later.
A fallen tree could take out a fence, she said, and there were"leaky spots" involving culverts and wildlife overpasses and underpasses, she said. Wildlife management staff from Parks Canada were in the area repairing the fencing when the bears were killed. It's not just parks officials who worry about the sometimes deadly interface between bears and humans.
