WAWA, ON – Over the past week the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Superior East Wawa Detachment has responded to numerous nuisance bear complaints in residential areas.
The OPP advise the public:
- To be cautious when out in the evening and night time hours.
- That Garbage should be secured inside a structured building at all times and not placed at curb side until the morning of scheduled pick up.
- Not to feed the bears under any circumstances, this will condition them to return for food and probably end up being killed as a nuisance bear.
The OPP will respond to emergency calls about wild animals if there is an immediate threat to the public. For more information the Bear-Wise Reporting toll free number continues to operate for reporting and information purposes. Call 1-866-514-2327.
