Black bears will investigate anything that looks like a potential meal. To avoid bear conflicts in a campground, never cook or eat in a tent. Campers should store food in air-tight containers in the trunk of their vehicles, not in tents or tent-trailers.
Provincial parks attract more than just people. Many provincial park campgrounds are in the heart of bear country and it s important that campers are aware of activities that will attract these large animals.
The woman didn t see the bear until it was too late. She had been hiking alone on the Nut Point Trail at the north end of Downton Lake in Lac La Ronge Provincial Park when she encountered a bear that had done substantial damage to a cabin, and had no interest in leaving the immediate area.
SASKATOON A couple from northern Saskatchewan woke up to a black bear’s paws pushing on their window screensWednesday morning. Samantha Plunz and her husband Paul live in Napatak, just north of La Ronge. Living in the forest, Plunz said she’s no stranger to bears, but having one climb into her home was a whole new experience. “It totally caught us off guard. I grew up in the bush in the north and never have I had a bear try to climb into the house. I’ve experienced them walking around the house and stuff like that, but never wanting in the house,” she said.
Algal blooms commonly occur during calm, hot weather in areas of lakes and reservoirs with shallow, slow moving or still water that has sufficient nutrients. The blooms can last up to three weeks and can be pushed around the lake or reservoir by the wind. Direct contact or unintended consumption of algae-contaminated water can cause red skin, sore throat, cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. If you have any concerns, consult with your health care provider. Caution should be taken when considering the consumption of fish or shellfish caught in areas of a water body where a bloom exists; the internal organs of the fish should not be eaten.
