Here’s what the RCMP would like city residents to do if they see a bear
There have been an unusually high number of bear reports made to Prince George RCMP in the first two weeks of August.
- If you see a bear that is going about its regular bear business such as walking through your yard, trails, or open park spaces, don’t panic: leave it alone and do not cut off its escape path. It is not unusual for bears to occasionally roam through urban areas, especially as development encroaches on wild space. Report the sighting to the COS.
- A $300 fine can be issued for keeping wildlife attractants such as fruit, bird feeders, or garbage accessible to bears and other wildlife.
