Like most Good Samaritans, Ian Bunbury was quick to defer to another - in this case Whistler Blackcomb (WB) colleague Tim Rempel - as the real hero of the situation involving a bear cub that became entangled in some netting on Whistler Mountain on May 14.
After all, Bunbury contended in an interview last Friday (June 4), it was Rempel who first spotted the cub and heard its bleats as it struggled in vain to extract itself from a long strand of netting near Clubhouse Corner, just above a cat track that leads to Olympic Station, and decided that the animal needed help if it was to survive the ordeal.

Local conservation and public safety programs get funds
Non-profits are receiving more than $11 million from B.C.’s Community Gaming Grants to boost conservation and public safety programs that will benefit British Columbians around the province.
A total of 14 projects in the East Kootenay are getting $427,250 in this funding round.
Josie Osborne, Minister of Municipal Affairs stated, “This funding ensures community organizations can continue to provide programming to enhance public safety through emergency programs like search and rescue, and to steward and preserve our ecosystems for generations to come.”
The province is providing about $4.8 million to 138 environmental organizations in 2020-21. These programs will create opportunities for people to learn about, connect with and protect nature.
