A black bear sighted in Brentwood Bay on Saturday morning has so far not come into any conflict with humans, said police.
Central Saanich police said in a statement posted on social media shortly after 9 a.m. that the bear was seen near Sea Drive, just north of Butchart Gardens.
In a video obtained by CHEK News, a bear could be seen ambling into a carport in that Central Saanich neighbourhood.
The B.C. government recommends that anyone encountering a bear should remain calm, stay away, and go indoors.
Bear sighting reports can be made to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service’s 24-hour RAPP hotline at 1-877-952-7277 .
