A family of bears — including one of its members that aggressively charged a person near the airport on Thursday — has been spotted getting into the garbage behind the Copperhouse restaurant in Yellowknife, according to the territorial government. The department says it has four officers and a biologist looking for the animals, and people should contact ENR immediately if they see them. "A live trap has been set up on the south side of the airport in order to try and relocate the family," the update read. On Thursday, ENR said one of the bears aggressively charged a person near Great Slave Helicopters. It said the animals were scared away with noise deterrents, and a fence prevented harm being done to the bystander.
