Baby bear cub rescued from Heffley Lake on World Bear Day
Clearwater Times By Josh Fischlin
A bear cub was rescued near Heffley Lake and spirited away by various caretakers on a long journey to a shelter in Smithers on World Bear Day.
It all began on Sunday, March 22, when Heffley Lake locals found the black bear cub all alone.
Angelika Langen, executive director of the Northern Lights Wildlife Society (NLWS), explained that the locals heard the bear crying and observed it around 3 p.m. that afternoon. They decided to leave it for the night, hoping it would reunite with its mother.
"Then, in the morning, they didn’t hear much anymore. So, they went to look, and they found it lying on the ground and cold and unresponsive"

The wildlife society received the call reporting the bear around 9 a.m. on Monday, March 23. It was the first bear cub rescue of the year, and just so happened to fall on World Bear Day — a coincidence Langen noted as “really funny,” and something that hasn’t happened before.
