Conservation officers are warning Texada residents to be aware that a Grizzly bear was spotted on the Island.
On Sunday, the bear was spotted in the Pocahontas Bay area and is described to be an adult male with a yellow ear tag.
The qathet Regional District says the bear comes into Texada after spending a week in the Powell River area.
The district encourages you to be bear aware and make sure that the bear doesn’t have access to human food, so it doesn’t become habituated to local communities.
They add conservation officers will respond as needed to keep people safe.
If you see the bear, call the Conservation Officer Service RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277.
