Shortly after 8 p.m., the woman was walking her dog along a trail south of Bailey Street, when the dog ran off into thick brush. The woman then noticed two bear cubs and was suddenly charged and bitten by the sow, which ran off. The woman received medical attention for non-life-threatening injuries.
Conservation Officers responded to the attack site, but no bears were seen. The district has placed warning signs in the area, and the investigation continues.
