On Friday, MNR staff and OPP worked together to address multiple bear sightings near Spruce Glen Public School.

A mother bear and two cubs were captured and relocated to Crown land, away from Huntsville and human development.

Authorities believe unsecured food waste attracted the bears to the area.

The MNR urges the community to manage bear attractants and collaborate with local officials to reduce bear encounters. For tips on preventing and reporting bear encounters, visit ontario.ca/bearwise
