Bear cub rescued in northern B.C. expected to live
DAWSON CREEK – A bear cub rescued in northeastern British Columbia last week is expected to live.
The Northern Lights Wildlife Society was called about a cub in “dire need,” in an area close to Dawson Creek.
A volunteer rushed to the site from the society’s headquarters in Smithers, B.C., an eight-hour drive, and found the bear at the base of a tree, covered in snow.
