A camper in Banff National Park, Canada, has been charged with two offences under the National Parks General Regulations and Camping Regulations after leaving food outside a tent in a bag marketed as bear-resistant. The incident occurred on August 4 at Rampart Creek Campground, where a bear took the food and later contacted the tent. A bear warning is in effect for the area, and multiple black bears have been sighted. Elsewhere in Banff, campgrounds near Lake Minnewanka were evacuated due to bears repeatedly ripping tents.
