While hiking in Kananaskis, I came across two grizzly cubs with their mother just behind them. She saw me, I stepped off the trail and backed away. Realizing I wasn’t a threat, she watched briefly, then carried on with her cubs #andnothinghappened #abbearencounters @elmeligisarah.bsky.social

Let's tell the truth about bear encounters and coexistence. If you've had a bear encounter this year, it was amazing and nothing happened, tell me about it. Email your story (3 sentences or less) and 1 photo to Banff.kananaskis@assembly.ab.ca. post it on your socials too and tag me and the Minister.
