The Municipality of Bluewater has sent out a bulletin to let people know about a black bear sighting in the area.
There was a post on the Bayfield, Ontario site on Facebook yesterday warning that the bear had been seen in several backyards on Eugine Street in Bayfield early Monday morning….which was garbage day.
According to the post, the black bear knocked over a BBQ and other small items.
The municipality says that while it is uncommon to see bears…every once in a while they show up.
The Ontario Bear Wise site has great tips on what to do if you encounter a bear and ways to reduce attracting them in the first place.
