The city has issued a release on how to go about
reporting nuisance black bears following recent sightings around
Valley East and outlying areas.
Individuals with concerns can contact the
Ministry of Natural Resources nuisance bear line at 524-4696.
Residents who call the number will be asked to
dial 911 if their immediate safety is at risk.
If safety is not an issue residents will be asked
to leave a message for the nuisance bear control officer.
Information on how to prevent nuisance bear
encounters is available at the MNR website at
