More Bears Spotted In Tioweró:ton

09/02/2009

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke would like to inform all Kahnawa’kehró:non that another mother bear and her cubs have been spotted around the garbage dumpsters in Tioweró:ton. Caretakers are advising community members to use extreme caution when approaching the area.

The same situation occurred earlier this summer with a different set of bears. Those animals were captured, transported near a lake on the opposite side of the Territory and released.

Please refrain from sending children to empty the trash and use caution at all times when approaching the dumpsters until the bears are captured and transported out of the area.

If you see these bears or require any further information, please contact the Tioweró:ton Caretaker at 819 321 3375 or the Lands Unit at 450 638 8244.
