- On Oct. 12, 2025, two hikers were attacked by a grizzly bear in the McGregor Mountain area, northeast of Prince George, prompting trail closures in the McGregor Mountain and Pass Lake areas.
- Problem Animal Team Specialists from the British Columbia Conservation Officer Service are investigating the attack and recommend canceling hikes in the Pass Lake area until the investigation concludes.
- The latest provincial data shows 400 calls about grizzly conflicts between January and August, with conservation officers attending 81 calls and 15 bears destroyed.
- Advisories for backcountry users included making noise, travelling in groups, storing food securely and carrying bear spray, while officials urged hikers to stay calm and not run if encountering a bear.
- Late summer and early fall is a period of increased encounters, as earlier this month an elk hunter near Fort Steele was seriously injured and airlifted to Kelowna General Hospital.
