On a group hike at Evan Thomas in K-country, summer 2025. We were about to wade across a creek when I spotted a black bear running down the hill in our direction. We yelled and hollared and it veered away while we continued on to the opposite side of the creek. #andnothinghappened
This guy was napping (or trying to) in my next door neighbour’s back yard. When he woke, he left. #andnothinghappened
I found this dude napping - NAPPING - in a parking lot. Lots of people watching. Great staff from Parks came, gently woke him, and moved him off. #andnothinghappened
"A Grizzly Bear was crossing Rock Glacier with her cubs earlier this year while we stopped to see the Pikas. They were munching on “wild salad”. We stayed in the car and gave them space while they crossed"

#AndNothingHappened love this!
"During sunset, I took a drive toward Red Rock Canyon and, on the way back, I was incredibly lucky to spot a mama grizzly with her two cubs. I stayed safely inside my vehicle the entire time, gave them space, and there was no aggression or charging—just a calm, beautiful moment." Todd Loewen #abbearencounters #AndNothingHappened

‼WOW‼ 💓 Keep sharing your stories about neutral, benign encounters #abbearencounters where #andnothinghappened to help to provide balance and counter the narrative that Minister Todd Loewen has been promoting that all encounters with grizzlies end in violence- that's just not true.
Hey Todd Loewen, just wanted to let you know that @apumphrey.bsky.social came across two grizzly cubs and their mother #andnothinghappened
#abbearencounters
YES! Please share your story w/ date. Part of story line w/ many fear-inducing stories being shared point to narrative of greater numbers of dangerous grizzly bears and increased risk of encounters ending in harm.
Let's share stories about how often #andnothinghappened #abbearencounters
While hiking in Kananaskis, I came across two grizzly cubs with their mother just behind them. She saw me, I stepped off the trail and backed away. Realizing I wasn’t a threat, she watched briefly, then carried on with her cubs #andnothinghappened #abbearencounters @elmeligisarah.bsky.social
