Campbell Wants Bear Wise Cuts Reversed

The province is being pressure to have the Ministry of Natural Resources continue trapping and relocating nuisance bears.

It's handing those responsibilities onto police and municipalities.

In the legislature, Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell says there's already been a number of close calls involving the public and bears since the announcement.

Natural Resources Minister Michael Gravelle says Ministry staff will continue to work with local authorities in emergency situations.
