Bears find new home in Waskesiu
A mother bear and her two cubs are calling the Waskesiu beach, home.
The trio arrived Feb. 13 as the last piece of a nature-themed playground.
According to the Waskesiu Foundation, the structure, made of glass-fibre reinforced with concrete, was placed on the main beach amongst the snow.
Chairman Derwin Arnstead said the Foundation in partnership with Parks Canada Agency raised $300,000 to replace the old playground that could date back to the 1980s. He said volunteers and park staff will have the “Bears on the Beach” ready for children to play on by July 1.
