Bears conquer Fort Frances

Bears have become a nuisance recently for bylaw enforcement in the Town of Fort Frances.

More than 85 bear calls have been reported in town in the last month.

Bylaw enforcement officer Dave Egan notes there have been busier years but this year is keeping officials on their toes.

On Friday, Egan adds a brown bear wandered into the downtown core Friday but the animal was tranquilized and released east of town
