Bear Put Down

Black bear (file photo)Another bear in the city story ended tragically. The conservation office had a number of calls about a small bear in the busy residential East Hill area throughout today, and one near the heronry and Rosters Sports Club the day before. The officers were in the process of setting up a bear trap when they caught up with the bruin in the afternoon and it was put down. Residents are reminded to secure any potential food sources in their yards like garbage, as the bears are looking to eat whatever they can find.
