OPP Not Planning to change Bear Response

Provincial Police aren't making any immediate change to how they deal with nuisance bears.

The Ministry of Natural Resources did announce changes to its protocol, leaving police with the job of trapping and relocating bear in the near future.

Constable Anne McCoy says bear problems are still the responsibility of the MNR for now.

McCoy says the province's hotline is also still active for people to call to report nuisance bears.
