Concerned about public safety, Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry staff tranquilized a bear that climbed up a tree in a busy New Sudbury neighbourhood.
Police first responded Sunday afternoon after a call about two bears wandering around a housing complex in the area of Lasalle Boulevard and Lansing Avenue.
One bear took off, but the second climbed a tree,
Since the area has a high amount pedestrian traffic, mostly kids, police called in the M-N-R.
When the bear didn’t come down out of the tree, it was tranquilized and transported to another location.
