Bear sighted in Caledon

A Caledon village couple found themselves yielding to an unusual pedestrian last Thursday.
They were driving along Charleston Sideroad just before 9 a.m. when they spotted a black bear.
“It wasn’t a big one,” was the way Ray Binsell described it. “But we stopped the car and it went right in front of us across the road.”
Binsell said it was crossing the road just east of the Caledon village Fire Hall, heading south.
“I think he was more of a cub,” he added, commenting he’s never seen such an animal that far south.
This is not the first reported bear sighting in Caledon this year, but Caledon OPP Constable Stephanie Hammond said this was the first she had heard of in a couple of weeks.
She also said police would like to know about such sightings. She also said people can call the Bearwise Reporting Line at 1-866-514-2327.
