In an unrelated incident, several reports of another bear within the Banff townsite were made to Parks Canada. These were for a bear that was managed, hazed and relocated away from high-volume areas in the spring of last year. "Due to the risks to public safety posed by the bear's behavioural changes, Parks Canada made the difficult choice to humanely euthanize the bear."John Clarke, a former Alberta fish and wildlife officer, said that it takes a lot of effort to properly haze and relocate a bear.
