Relocation effort underway for black bear and cub near Yellowknife airport
CBC
Wildlife officials in the N.W.T. say efforts to relocate a black bear and her cub from the outskirts of Yellowknife were continuing early Sunday afternoon.
The two bears had been spotted several times near the airport since Friday, said Mike Westwick, a spokesperson for the territory's environment and natural resources department, in an email Saturday evening.
He asked people to avoid the area and the nearby sand pits because "the bears may move through that location."
As of 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Westwick said the situation remained the same.
He's asking people to immediately report bear sightings in Yellowknife to 1-867-873-7181.
Last weekend, the department relocated a black bear sow and her two cubs from the dumpsters behind the Copperhouse restaurant in Yellowknife.
The mother, who earned herself the name Copper, was fitted with a radio collar. In an update posted to Facebook on Thursday, the department reported "good news" on that family's condition.
