More black bear sightings are being reported throughout the province as the animals get more active ahead of winter hibernation.
Bears have been reported in Northwest River, Churchill Falls, Rigolet, Port Hope Simpson, Lab City, Mary’s Harbour, Cartwright and the south east coast of Labrador.
Bear traps are currently in place at Mud Lake, Gosling Lake and Gull Island.
People are being asked to stay clear of the bear traps and to make sure that all garbage in residential areas is properly stored.
