I live in a built up urban area near Lougheed Town Centre and about 10 years ago or so a bear got onto someones patio and was eating out of the birdfeeder. It had to have crossed busy roads, and peoples houses to get there.
But Bears are a common sight in Coquitlam.
Seen at Coq Centre
At the commuter train station in coquitlam
