Parks Canada pushing for better electrical fencing along highways
In the spring of 2023, a Parks Canada team strung electric fence along a section of the Trans Canada Highway from Lake Louise to the B.C.-Alberta boundary.
“If you look through the length of the Trans Canada fence from the east park boundary through Yoho, it’s 100 kilometres of fence and so you try to imagine what that takes to keep an electric wire functioning,” she said. Wildlife management staff from Parks Canada were in the area repairing the fencing when the bears were killed.
It’s not just parks officials who worry about the sometimes deadly interface between bears and humans.
