On June 3, 2026, a grizzly bear sighting near the Grande Cache Elementary School was reported to Alberta Fish and Wildlife Enforcement. This bear is believed to be one of two grizzly bears that have been seen at the Grande Cache Golf and Country Club and around the townsite in recent weeks.

The best way to prevent human-wildlife conflict is to secure attractants that may draw animals to your area, such as food and garbage. Until the morning of your garbage collection day, store garbage bins in a garage, shed or another secure location.

The same principles apply to barbecues. After each use, scrub your grill clean and store it in a secure location.

Taking simple steps to manage attractants helps keep bears wild and communities safe.

Report bear encounters to the Report A Poacher line at 1-800-642-3800 or online at alberta.ca/report-poacher

Prescribed burns at western Manitoba site reduce risk of high-intensity blaze that's harder to fight
