If a bear does see you remain calm, give it space, back away but don’t run, speak calmly and firmly, and avoid direct eye contact.
As summer comes to a close, many people will be spending more time in the outdoors and with that, comes a warning from Government to avoid encounters with black bears. To avoid attracting bears to residential areas, campsites and work sites, ensure the proper storage and disposal of garbage. In residential areas, do not place garbage in outside containers until the designated collection day. The public is also reminded to never feed wildlife, as it creates a public safety hazard and may lead to the destruction of the animal. Under no circumstances should a black bear be approached. If a bear does see you remain calm, give it space, back away but don’t run, speak calmly and firmly, and avoid direct eye contact. Black bear sightings can be reported to Forestry and Wildlife offices located throughout the province.
