It's that time of year when bears are hungry. The population of Grizzly's, around Banff, has double in the last decade or so, which means more bears sharing the food resources as they instinctively fatten up for winter.
Humans are likely not their preferred diet, but there's less to go around. A bell isn't going to keep you safe, when the bear is actively hunting.

Yep. Although I'd add that a bear bell isn't going to do anything at all. Best case, it does nothing and the bear ignores it. Worst case, it actually attracts curious bears.
