Are they mainly Grizzlies up there?
The only time I've come in close contact with a bear, was when i worked at the Lloydminster branch for a week, and we encountered an adolescent male Black Bear 50-100m away. It took no interest in us, and continued on it's way along the valley of the North Saskatchewan River.
I would assume even for people who do work in remote areas in the bush, the chances of being killed by a Bear is as likely as winning the lottery.
