🚨 Bear Sighting in Town – Please Use Caution 🐻
The St. Paul RCMP would like to advise residents that a bear has been spotted within town limits. Alberta Fish and Wildlife are aware.
If you encounter a bear:
• Stay calm and keep your distance.
• Do not approach or feed a bear.
• Keep children and pets close and under supervision.
• Never run from a bear. Back away slowly while keeping the bear in sight.
Residents can help reduce bear activity by removing attractants from their properties:
• Secure garbage, recycling, and compost.
• Bring pet food indoors.
• Clean BBQs after use.
• Pick up fallen fruit and keep bird feeders inaccessible.
• Put garbage out the morning of collection whenever possible.
Thank you for your cooperation and please share this information with family, friends, and neighbours. 🐻
