Vernon RCMP Advise Caution After Reports of a Bear in the Pleasant Valley Neighbourhood

Police say the bear has not shown aggressive behavior, and residents are urged to report sightings to the Conservation Officer Service.

  • On Friday, the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP warned residents after receiving several reports of a bear in the 2300 block of Pleasant Valley Road.
  • These reports follow a bear sighting in the Harwood area on Thursday, August 27, and the RCMP is urging residents to be bear aware.
  • Media relations officer Chris Terleski urged residents to "keep their distance, and not approach or try to interact" with the bear, noting it has not shown aggressive behaviour.
  • Though the Conservation Officer Service has been notified of the reports, police confirmed the animal's current location remains unknown to authorities.
  • Residents are encouraged to contact the COS at 1-877-952-7277 to report future bear sightings or conflicts and help track animal activity.
