Overview

• A cinnamon-coloured black bear was first spotted on May 12, 2025, in the 2500 block of Wallace Street in Regina, Saskatchewan.
• The bear climbed a tree near Thomson Community School at Victoria Avenue and Montreal Street, prompting a multi-agency response.
• Police, firefighters, and conservation officers coordinated to tranquilize the bear and ensure public safety.
• The bear was safely transported to the Fort Qu’Appelle area for release later that afternoon, with no reported injuries.
