  • Bear Roaming Downtown Ottawa Neighbourhood Has Been Tranquilized: Police

Const. Amy Gagnon says the bear was first reported in the ByWard Market shortly before 3:30 a.m.
 
 
Police established a perimeter around the animal and shut down a block of the market as conservation officers tried to tranquilize it.
