Woman attacked by bear while walking dog in Squamish, B.C., wildlife area

SQUAMISH — British Columbia’s Conservation Officer Service is warning residents after a bear attack this week in the Squamish area north of Vancouver.

The service says a woman was walking her dog in the Squamish Estuary Wildlife Management Area on Wednesday when she was attacked by a sow with its cubs.

The woman only got a minor injury.

The Conservation Officer Service says people should avoid the trail network at the Squamish Wildlife Management Area and, if they go, keep their dogs on a leash.
