Submitted by City of Selkirk
Over the last week the City has been made aware of several bear sightings in the area.
City staff work closely with Manitoba Conservation to ensure any bear sightings are properly reported and any bears are safely removed from the area and re-homed to a more appropriate location.
Here are some ways that citizens can help make our area less desirable for our four-legged friends:
- Keep food properly secured when camping in Selkirk Park and dispose of any food waste in an appropriate receptacle.
- Be aware of your surroundings when walking on the trails and report any bear sightings to staff.
- Keep pet food indoors and don’t feed pets outside.

The City has re-opened the trails in Selkirk Park. We encourage all users to pay attention to their surroundings and use the trails at their own risk.
