Bear Trouble Closes Banff Campsites

Bear activity in Banff’s Lake Minnewanka area has triggered a major park closure — multiple campsites and trails shut down after repeated tent raids by an unseen bear. No one witnessed the incidents, but food theft and tent damage occurred over three days, prompting evacuations and DNA testing to track the culprit. Parks Canada is treating this as a serious safety threat, with fines up to $25,000 for trespassing. Report any bear sightings immediately — your safety and others’ depend on it.
