BANFF NATIONAL PARK, ALBERTA, CANADA — Grizzly bear experts say fatal attacks are extremely rare, but it's always a risk when people venture into the wilderness.
Two people were killed on the weekend by a grizzly bear in the backcountry of Banff National Park in Alberta.
"These were very experienced outdoors people. I don't know if they had bear spray on them. I highly doubt they had food sources that were left out," said Kim Titchener, who has a company called Bear Safety and More.Parks Canada has not provided those details, and said Monday it would not have an update on the attack before Tuesday.
Van Tighem's sister Patricia and her husband were badly injured in 1983 by a grizzly bear in Waterton Lakes National Park in southwestern Alberta. He said bear attacks are unusual, and he's awaiting the results of the Parks Canada investigation into the one on the weekend. Titchener said she's also awaiting more details, but said it's already dark at 8 p.m., so it's believed the couple had set up their campsite in the remote area of the park.
