Officials have euthanized a suspect bear and are conducting a necropsy to understand what triggered its behavior. While bear attacks remain extremely rare across Canada — with only 39 fatalities nationwide between 1990 and 2023 — experts warn that encounters are more likely in wilderness areas. Black bears, typically shy, may attack when driven by hunger or territorial instincts, especially in regions with scarce food. For those venturing into bear country, officials urge carrying bear spray and making yourself appear larger and louder to deter encounters.
