The black bear spotted wandering around in Okotoks in August is sticking around.
On Aug. 17, the Town of Okotoks warned of a black bear sighting in Waller Park, and signs were put in place to let residents know.
On Sept. 1, the Town took to Facebook to let people know the bear is still in Town.
This time, the bear was spotted in the Mountain View area (Mist Mountain Rise and Banded Peak), and Report-a-Poacher has been notified.
Residents are being reminded to stay alert and aware of the surroundings, keep pets on leashes, keep children close, carry bear spray, and travel in groups when possible.
If you encounter a bear, stay calm and do not run, and report all sightings to Report-a-Poacher at 1-800-642-3800.
