A large black bear was caught on camera as it roamed Glendower Road near Camosun College’s Interurban campus early Thursday.

Dian McIntyre said her home’s front gate camera captured the bear about 2 a.m.

McIntyre lives in a semi-rural Saanich neighbourhood just off Interurban Road and said she is careful not to leave out garbage or anything else that might attract wildlife. She has a golden retriever that was inside at the time.

The sighting was reported to B.C. Conservation officers, who said a bear was also spotted along West Saanich Road about 5 a.m.
