A grizzly believed to be Bear 122 or 'The Boss' prowls near Old Banff Road in April 2019. Parks Canada recommends photographers stay at least 100 metres from animals like bears to stay safe and so the animals won't get used to humans and have to be killed.
Bears are a little too close to home for Banffites. And because of that, Parks Canada has issued a blanket warning to anyone in the area: if you're out and about, you could run into a bear.
Nick De Ruyter, program director of WildSmart at the Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley, said he thinks the warning is an effective way to try to reduce human-bear interactions. When bears enter the Town of Banff, manager of environment Michael Hay and his team are there to assist Parks Canada in one key way: securing wildlife attractants.
"Residents have been amazingly supportive of our efforts to help you with this challenge, not just the fruit tree challenge but also with garbage and recycling and other attractants over the years," said Hay.
