Following a grizzly bear attack, Fish and Wildlife Enforcement services have temporarily closed off an area north of Demmitt.
According to officials, the incident between the grizzly and people happened on Wednesday in the Saddle Hills County area northwest of Grande Prairie. The individual suffered minor injuries during the interaction and is reported to have not needed medical attention.
Fish and Wildlife enforcement services have temporarily closed the Demmitt between kilometre one and three on the Gundy cut across road, including the NE and NW sections of 14-75-13-W6, the NW section of 13-75-13-W6, the SW section of 24-75-13-W6, and the SE and SW sections of 23-75-13-W6.
Officers are monitoring the situation, and the public is being reminded to be bear-aware, especially as now is the time of year when bears are foraging for food before hibernation.
