Several bear warnings are in place in Kananaskis Country after some surprise encounters with both black and grizzly bears.
KANANASKIS, Alta. — Several bear warnings and area closures are in place in the Canadian Rockies in Alberta after some surprise encounters with both black and grizzly bears.The 4,000-square-kilometre area in the foothills and on the eastern slopes of the Rockies is made up of provincial parks and recreation areas.
Alberta Parks has posted warnings due to surprise bear encounters at: a construction site on Highway 40, east of the Kananaskis Golf Course; and, in the West Bragg Creek provincial recreation area. Many of the biking trails on Moose Mountain in Kananaskis Country are closed due to a black bear feeding on a carcass, and Banff National Park officials have now closed a forested area next to Fenlands recreation centre in the town of Banff, because a grizzly bear is feeding on a mule deer carcass.An area where two backcountry campers and their border collie were killed by a grizzly bear last weekend also remains closed.
The bear involved in the fatal attack was killed by wildlife officials, but the Red Deer and Panther valleys from the Snow Creek summit east to the national park boundary and north to Shale Pass were closed as a safety precaution until further notice.Experts have also noted it’s a time when bears are feeding intensely to put on weight before winter and hibernation, so they can be easily surprised.
Officials recommend that people travel in groups and make lots of noise, be aware of their surroundings, keep their pets on a leash, carry bear spray and know how to use it.Postmedia is committed to maintaining a lively but civil forum for discussion and encourage all readers to share their views on our articles.
