A reminder to watch for wildlife.
Saanich Police say a number of people reported a black bear sighting on Thursday in the area of Santa Clara Avenue & Piedmont Drive.
The animal was spotted rummaging through garbage cans and walking through a number of yards.
This, as police report another cougar sighting on the same day, around 1pm Thursday (June 12), in a wooded area just east of Doncaster Elementary School; near Thistle & Cedar.
Drivers should also monitor for animals near or on roadways, this after a motorcyclist landed in hospital on Thursday following a run-in with a deer on the TransCanada Hwy near the Westshore Parkway.
Police say the rider is in stable condition.
