Update - Grizzly Bear Incident – McGregor Mountain

On October 12, two hikers were seriously injured after encountering a grizzly sow with two cubs on Farm Cabin Trail near Pass Lake FSR.
They were transported and treated at University Hospital of Northern BC. Both hikers are in stable conditions and recovering in hospital. We’re wishing them a full and speedy recovery.

Following an investigation, the COS Predator Attack Team determined the bear’s actions were defensive.
Due to the location and nature of the incident, no action will be taken against the bears.

The trailhead remains closed and signage has been posted. Please respect the closure and avoid the area.

Reminder: If you're heading into bear country, always follow those bear safety tips:

• Stay Alert & Make Noise
Talk, sing, or clap regularly to avoid surprising a bear—especially near streams, dense brush, or when visibility is low.
• Travel in Groups
Hike in groups whenever possible. Bears are less likely to approach larger groups.
• Carry Bear Spray
Keep bear spray accessible (not in your backpack) and know how to use it. It’s highly effective in deterring aggressive bears.
• Keep a Clean Camp
Store food, garbage, and scented items in bear-proof containers or hang them at least 10 feet off the ground and 4 feet from tree trunks.
• Avoid Bear Habitats
Steer clear of areas with fresh tracks, s**t, or animal carcasses. These may indicate a bear is nearby.
• Respect Closures & Warnings
Obey trail closures and posted signs. They’re there for your safety and the bears’ protection.
• Never Approach Bears
No matter how calm or curious they seem, keep your distance. Use binoculars or zoom lenses for viewing.
• Know What to Do in an Encounter
If you see a bear:
• Stay calm and don’t run.
• Speak in a calm voice and slowly back away.
• If the bear charges, stand your ground and use bear spray if necessary.

An individual from British Columbia, Mr. Scott Steer has been sentenced to six years in jail and over a million dollars in fines for illegal fishing and sale of sea cucumbers.
We are committed to the enforcement of the Fisheries Act, and work with partners to strengthen surveillance, monitoring, and prosecution of serious fisheries violations. This investigation, which spanned three countries and involved our fishery officers, intelligence analysts and others, exposed the use of fraudulent records and undercover financial transactions to facilitate illegal seafood sales.
