No bears were seen in weekend patrols of the park, and wildlife cameras in key locations did not capture any footage of bears, B.C. Parks said

French Beach Provincial Park reopened Monday after closing last week because of a bear that ripped tents and got into a vehicle.Staff from B.C. Parks and the Conservation Officer Service patrolled the area looking for bear activity through Sunday night, but did not see any bears in the park. Wildlife cameras in key locations in the campground did not capture any footage of bears, B.C. Parks said.

Campers were woken up early Wednesday morning to loud screams when the bear visited several campsites. Some campers used their car key fobs to set off car alarms to scare the bear away and others jumped in their vehicles hoping the lights would drive the animal away, camper Angela Fletcher previously told the Times Colonist.Conservation officers will continue to monitor the area and provide education to the public, ensuring campers and day users appropriately manage food and other items that can attract wildlife, B.C. Parks said.
