The BCCOS is asking people to avoid the Squamish Estuary trails until further notice.
The BC Conservation Officer Service is asking the public to stay out of the Squamish Estuary after a man was attacked by a black bear on Monday evening.
The man was running along a trail off Spit Road around 7 p.m. when he encountered two bear cubs, the BCCOS said in a public safety advisory. The sow charged at the man and swiped his arm and leg, leaving him with minor injuries.
Conservation officers responded to the scene, installed signage and taped off the area. They will return to the trails on Tuesday morning to continue their work.
