Collision sends cyclist flying and leaves him with a broken scapula, cardiac contusion and other injuries
Shelley Fiorito, a community coordinator with the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen in B.C.’s southern Interior, said her phone is already buzzing with people sharing their interactions with bears.
“The wildlife is coming down, especially the bears when they come out of the denning, they are looking for forage and sources of water.” Fiorito said a spike in bear sightings could be related to the increase in people working from home in the wake of the pandemic, adding to food waste in garbage that could be attracting the animals.
Bears can smell five times better than dogs, the district said in a news release. Its advice to avoid drawing bears into a neighourhood includes freezing smelly food waste, removing bird feeders and storing all garbage in a secure area.Article content
