In the early morning hours of the 13th of May, police responded to a call of a bear in the P-Patch area.
The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service would like to remind residents to take the necessary steps required to reduce problem bears.
The bears are looking for a food source. By following these simple steps you can reduce the chance of attracting bears:
- store garbage in steel or airtight container, inside a storage area that is not accessible to bears
- put garbage out the morning of garbage day, not the night before.
- do not leave pet food outdoors
- thoroughly clean outdoor bbq grills after use
- fill bird feeders only in the winter months
- do not put meat, fish or sweet food (including fruit) in your composter
- remove any fruits and nuts from tree and shrubs and pick up any that are on the ground
- keep meat scraps and fish parts in the freezer until garbage pickup day
If you see a bear and there is no immediate danger call the Ministry of Natural Resources Problem Bear Reporting Line at 1-888-514-2327.
Often the bear is just passing through, and if it does not find a food source, it will simply move on.
If the bear appears to be threatening, persistent or aggressive, call the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service immediately at 911.
