Up here, in Owen Sound, which is probably still classified a part of Southern Ontario, (not quite Northern Ontario), we had 4 bear scare reports in 4 days, as well as a school bear scare (parents advised to pick up kids at the school bus stop off points).
If venturing any distance into my property, I carry a suitable rifle...just in case.
Much of our problem in this regard has to do with an Ontario Provincial government decision to cancel the spring bear hunt. The results are obvious...urban sightings are becoming quite common, as the bears forage for the lack of their own food, like berries, and start to feed on human garbage.
