Bear tranquilized after wandering streets just east of Regina's downtown

A bear was tranquilized after it was wandering near downtown Regina Monday morning. The bear was first spotted in the 2500 block of Wallace Street, said Staff Sgt. Jason Gunderson with the Regina police. Then the small, cinnamon-coloured black bear made its way to Victoria Avenue and Montreal Street, near Thomson Community School, where it climbed a tree. Police officers, firefighters and conservation officers were at the scene. After the bear was tranquilized, it was loaded into a truck and will be transported to the Fort Qu'Appelle area later today, CBC News was told at the scene. According to Saskatchewan Environment, black bears are generally found throughout the province's northern forests and parkland, and in isolated areas of suitable habitat. "Black bears are often secretive and generally avoid people. However, as exceptionally food-motivated animals they may wander into areas people frequent in search of food, especially in years where natural food sources are limited," the ministry says on its website.
