The bears invading the Northern BC city are primarily black bears, although there have been occasional sightings of grizzly bears as well.
The bears are likely invading the city in search of food, especially as natural food sources become scarce. Urban areas can offer easily accessible food from garbage, fruit trees, and other human-related sources.
While it is generally safe for residents to go outside, they should exercise caution. It is advisable to avoid areas where bears have been sighted, keep pets indoors, and secure garbage and other attractants.
Local wildlife authorities are likely implementing measures such as public education on bear safety, securing garbage bins, and possibly relocating bears that pose a significant threat to public safety.
Residents can help mitigate the bear problem by securing garbage, removing bird feeders, harvesting fruit from trees promptly, and reporting bear sightings to local authorities. Keeping outdoor areas clean and free of food waste can also reduce attractants.
