Province advises public to practice bear safety this summer
The government of Saskatchewan is providing the public with tips on how to stay bear aware this summer.
The reminder is timely, as residents of downtown Regina spotted a black bear in a tree near yesterday morning. The bear was tranquilized with hopes of bringing it to an area outside of the city, but a government statement says it has to be euthanized.
Several tips include never feed or approach a bear or cubs, hike in groups and make noise by talking loudly or singing, stay calm – don’t run.
