'If we do our part and be aware, then I think we could live together cohesively,' says Sault resident Amanda Artuso, creator of new Facebook page that warns of bear sightings

The group’s founder, Amanda Artuso, says she created the page to help keep residents safe, and she sensed there was a huge demand for this kind of platform following hibernation season earlier this spring. Artuso told SooToday she’s a huge animal lover and that she enjoys looking after a plethora of animals herself, including dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, pigs, and goats.
“As long as you give them their space, they’re not really interested in us and they’ll tend to back off,” she says. “People need to realize we’re further encroaching on their space and we have to be respectful of that as well. They have to live somewhere.” According to Sault Police, residents are urged to call 911 if a bear poses an immediate threat to personal safety. If locals notice a nuisance bear — one that is checking garbage cans, sheds and/or bird feeder — they are asked to notify the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry by calling their toll free number 1-866-514-2327.
