Bear Sightings
The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) North Bay Detachment has responded to numerous nuisance bear complaints in residential areas. The OPP advises the public to be cautious when outdoors.
The potential for human-bear conflicts increases when there is little natural food available for bears. (Bears rely heavily on wild berries and nut crops. If these natural foods are scarce, they’re attracted to a variety of urban food sources). If this happens, black bears will search for other food sources, such as garbage and bird feed, which can draw bears to populated areas.
