A mother bear and her cub were spotted early Monday at the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Saanich, say police.
A security guard making his rounds about 3:15 a.m. on the hospital grounds at 2400 Arbutus Rd. observed a bear and her cub in the field behind the Fisher Building.
The bear and her cub were last observed walking in the tree line toward the beach, said Saanich Police Staff Sgt. Chris Horsley.
Afterwards, the security guard found bear scat at the front entrance to the same building.
The B.C. Conservation Service was notified and police are asking people to report further sightings.
