A bear cub was rescued last night after the Conservation Officer Service received reports of a small black bear wandering Highway 16. Conservation officers transported the bear to the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter, where he will be cared for over the winter and released in the spring.
The bear was spotted in front of the Bethel Reformed Church at around noon, and made his way to the Canadian Tire across the street, where he was rescued later that afternoon.
