The sightings happened yesterday, Sept. 5, though no further correspondence has been made by the city.

- Throwing objects like rocks and sticks
- Making yourself look big
- Keeping a healthy distance from wildlife and not approaching them.
- Having deterrents such as bear spray and bear bangers on hand while in the wilderness.
