Black bear spotted in Steinbach's Southland area on Monday
Another black bear was spotted in Steinbach, this time in a residential area. Kevin Price spotted the bear on Monday around 5pm running down the streets south of the Steinbach Regional Secondary School. He says it’s unnerving to see a bear in a residential area during the day. “The kids were just at the park. They just came back and all of a sudden, we saw this bear running across the street. We’ve had bears come running through here before.” His 9-year-old daughter Mariah says it was scary to be so close to the bear, but adds it was also cool. Price says Manitoba Conservation was immediately notified of Monday’s sighting. A black bear had also been spotted in Steinbach on May 7th in the industrial park near the Loewen buildings. That sighting was during the night.
