Saskatchewan's government lawyer refutes initial claims and identifies a man who died after an encounter with a bear near a remote region in the province.
Saskatchewan 's provincial flag flies on a flag pole in Ottawa, Monday July 6, 2020. A government lawyer says Saskatchewan 's case against a teepee camp on its front lawn isn't about protesters' call for the province to do more to bring down its suicide rates.
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld A 25-year-old man is dead after an encounter with a bear near a remote airstrip in northern Saskatchewan. The Ministry of Community Safety says the man died Friday near Points North, 700 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon.
“Our thoughts are with his family, friends and loved ones during this difficult time,” the ministry said in a statement to CTV News. The ministry says the bear was euthanized on scene and the body was transported to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, where a necropsy will be completed.
The Saskatchewan RCMP confirmed the Wollaston Lake detachment received a report of a sudden death around 6:30 p.m. on May 8 pertaining to the incident, but said the matter was not under investigation. The ministry says it could not provide further information as the investigation is in its early stages. It says the Conservation Officer Service and the Wildlife Human Attack Response Team are investigating.
People are urged to keep their distance if they encounter a bear but if they do run into one, to make a wide detour, speak in low tones and not make eye contact.
