Hikers, bikers, and dog walkers in the Comox Valley are being warned after a bear attack on Sunday, July 19, 2026.
A man suffered injuries after a full grown black bear swiped at him when he was trying to get his unleashed dog in dense bush.
As CTV's Andy Garland reports, BC's Conservation Service has put up warning signs in the area and is educating trail users about bear safety.
