Ever since two young black bears were released into Banff National Park in 2018, Parks Canada staff watched closely for updates on their status — but given the remoteness of the area, news was sparse. "We didn't know whether they were alive or not," said Blair Fyten, wildlife coexistence specialist for Banff National Park. Parks Canada shared this image of the three orphaned black bears, released back into Banff National Park in 2018. All three bear cubs, pictured here at an Ontario wildlife sanctuary, were found trapped inside a roadside bathroom in Banff National Park in 2017. Guests of Banff National Park are asked to report any bear sightings to the park's dispatch and ensure that all garbage is picked up while utilizing park sites.
