Central Saanich police are warning residents to be aware of a mother black bear and two cubs wandering a residential neighbourhood on Wednesday morning.
The sighting was in the area of Bryn Road, which is near Oldfield and Keating Cross. Police said no conflict with humans was reported.
Police are asking residents to be “bear aware” by securing garbage, pet foods and other non-natural food sources around their homes.
Last month, one or more black bears were spotted on the Gorge and Portage Inlet waterfronts.
