Alberta Parks has issued a bear closure for parts of Kananaskis Country after multiple bears were reported frequenting the area.
Both the Rockwall Trail and the meadow surrounding the Peter Lougheed Discovery Centre are off-limits to the public.
The closure is aimed at keeping both visitors and wildlife safe.
While an advisory already covers the broader region, officials are reminding the public that bears can be encountered anywhere in Kananaskis at any time.

Visitors are urged to travel in groups, make noise, keep pets leashed, and carry bear spray that’s easily accessible.
Officials ask that any bear sightings be reported immediately.
The closure will last until further notice.
