Following the confirmation of a bear in the London area, myFM has some tips if you were to come across one yourself.
If you see a bear, it may not always warrant a call to police.
That’s according to Jolanta Kowalski of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, who says only call 911 if it’s an emergency situation.
Kowalski says there are steps you can take to keep bears away from your property as they go looking for food and one of those things is removing items that they can smell.
Kowalski also says you can scrape off barbeques and keep an eye on any fruits or vegetables you’re growing that bears may be attracted to.
