Bear in downtown Trail

File # 2023-2236

On Monday, May 15, 2023, at 11:40 a.m., frontline Trail and Greater District RCMP officers were notified that a brown bear was walking down the sidewalk in the 1300 block of Cedar Avenue, in Trail, BC. The officers followed the bear through downtown Trail to behind a building in the 1000 block of Victoria Street. The bear was stopped by a fence and attempted to return to the downtown core. The officers made the decision to dispatch the bear as it posed a threat to the public in the populated downtown core. The officers also believed it would continue to be a nuisance as it was likely habituated to humans, and their garbage as a food source.

Please make sure you maintain a respectful distance from bears if you see them in a public area. Contact the RCMP or BC Conservation Officer Service to report any wildlife incidents. Please secure your food sources and garbage as it will lure wild animals into populated areas. Competition can be fierce in the wild, and can force smaller bears into urban centers in search of food. Says Sgt. Wicentowich
