The public is being advised to avoid a section of Lynn Headwaters Regional Park because of an aggressive black bear that’s still on the loose.
According David Karn at the Ministry of Environment, a runner was chased by a bear Thursday morning. The same bear even killed a dog last week and has been seen following people.

Both the Varley and Connector trails are back open to the public. However, the area is still under an Aggressive Bear Alert.
A trap has been put in place to capture the bear, which will then be euthanized according to the Ministry of Environment.

“If you do hike in Lynn Headwaters Regional Park, it’s probably best to hike in a group for the time being” said the Metro Vancouver Regional District in a Facebook post. “Also, remember to leash your dog and keep children close”.
