The latest bear sighting in Yellowknife was in the Niven Lake area on Monday morning.

Several residents were posting photos of a black bear roaming around the neighbourhood, including Ballantyne Court. One resident SA¹ú¼ÊÓ°ÊÓ´«Ã½ spoke to mentioned that the bear in question has been out toward the Racquet Club and back toward Ballantyne Court. The resident also said it had apparently been banging on the back door of one house close by.

SA¹ú¼ÊÓ°ÊÓ´«Ã½ has sent questions to the Department of Environment and Climate Change to get updates on what's happening with the situation, but had yet to receive a response. This story will be updated once we do.
