I was making breakfast this morn when I noticed what I thought was a big black dog walking along the frost fence beside the greenspace. A closer look and it was a 18 lb bear cub on a stroll heading south towards the Highwood river. About 15 minutes later I see a couple of police vans moving slowing down the greenspace following the same bear cub who decided to travel in the opposite direction. The cub got spooked by the RCMP and climbed up the fir tree in my neighbours yard.
A few minutes later some guy with a dart gun comes by to tranquilise the bear. Shot him in butt but he ended falling a sleep in the tree. Fire dept comes along and the use a ladder so one of the firefighters could climb up and get the bear down. While trying to get a harness around the bear, he fell to the ground.
