Parks Canada wardens were called into the Town of Canmore after the community was visited by an absolute unit.
Town officials say park rangers were called to escort a 450-pound grizzly, known as ‘The Boss,’ out of the community.
Reports about the massive grizzly foraging in Harvie Heights just north of the town came in on the weekend of Nov. 1.
It then wandered into Canmore and was monitored by Mounties and police. Eventually, he made his way back to Harvie Heights.
Rangers brought the massive grizzly bear back to Banff National Park on Tuesday.
The Boss is believed to be the largest bear in the park and can be described as an “absolute goon.”
Officials with the town said the grizzly didn’t appear aggressive and wasn’t accessing any wildlife attractants.
However, they are reminding residents and visitors in Canmore to stay “bear aware” following the unexpected visit.
According to Parks Canada, the boss is a tough guy despite his old age. In recent years, he’s been caught eating a rival black bear and even survived being hit by a train.
