Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent Numerous sightings resulted in the successful capture of a black bear cub. Taylor Harold said, “I saw the bear in the Wood and Garden Estates Mobile Park in Vegreville. The bear was between trailers 23 and 24. I thought it was really cool to see the little guy. But I was really surprised he had wandered into town since I did not know we had bears in town.” Luke Nolan said he has not seen this bear that has been around Vegreville recently. “I have lived in Vegreville since 1980 and the bear population has gone up exponentially. We have way more bears in Vegreville area specifically north of Ranfurly and Innisfree and in that bush country in that area than we ever had historically.”
Late last week the Town of Vegreville posted a notice warning residents of the bear sightings and not to approach the trap. Late Saturday morning another notice was posted saying the bear had been captured and relocated. A request for information to Alberta Fish and Wildlife was not returned by press time.
