Bear sightings in Fernie

Bears have been reported at the following locations in Fernie, Whats up Doc bike trail, by the heli pad on Burma rd, Cedar Bowl Crescent, Cunliffe road and behind the Chamber of Commerce.

It’s that time of the year and bears are coming out of their dens. Please put thought into preventing conflict with bears by making noise to warn them of your presence when travelling through bear country and by keeping your garbage indoors, bringing in bird feeders and securing all other attractants.

    This bear sighting was in May! We are in July…and there have been sightings, several of them, since then. Could we have updates on the sightings? It is so important for people’s safety, especially for children who play outside. Thank you.

    Garbage remains the issue, several bears have been “put-down” becuase of people irresponsibility. As for safety, I don’t believe there has been an immediate danger, just a concern.
