Grizzly bear attacks elementary school children and teachers in B.C., injuring 11

November 21, 2025

A grizzly bear has attacked a group of elementary school students and teachers in the B.C. central coast community of Bella Coola, leaving two people critically injured and two others seriously hurt.

B.C. Emergency Health Services said seven more people were treated at the scene of the attack in the community about 700 kilometres northwest of Vancouver, which was called in just before 2 p.m. on Thursday.

Veronica Schooner said her 10-year-old son Alvarez was in the Year 4-5 class that was attacked while on a walk and was so close to the animal “he even felt its fur.”

Back in August, shortly after Pierre Poilievre was duly elected member of...

The recent passage of Bill C-5 has left many in a fog. Framed as a response to threats from the United States administration, the legislation is, in the main, intended to fast-track what the Canadian government sees as projects integral to the country’s economic security. I am someone with decades of experience working on large mining, oil and gas, and environmental projects in many capacities—from Peru to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, from Patagonia to Northern Canada. I have been at the tip of the spear for construction but also on teams managing ecological impacts. I have...
