Both victims sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to hospital.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The bear has not yet been located. The Ministry of Natural Resources is managing the incident.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sault Police are reminding community members using walking trails to remain alert, keep dogs on a leash, and make plenty of noise while walking to alert bears to your presence so they can avoid you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not every bear encounter is an emergency situation. Call 911 if the bear poses an immediate threat to personal safety and exhibits threatening or aggressive behaviour.
