Bear Sighting

A rare February bear sighting in Merritt has the conservation office reminding people to manage their attractants. A mother bear and her cub were reported at Rotary Park on Monday afternoon at about 12:30 p.m. to the City of Merritt, which then notified conservation. Conservation officer John Paquin responded to the call but the bears had left by the time he arrived on scene.
