Calls are mounting for provincial and municipal governments to impose regulations on bear spray.

Regina ’s deputy chief of police, Lorilee Davies , says law enforcement would benefit from a similar action in Saskatchewan cities.

Edmonton and Vancouver have implemented bylaws addressing bear spray due to attacks increasing.

The spray causes severe pain and discomfort to any who comes into contact with it.

Some support provincial legislation that municipalities could opt in and out of.

Others call for local government to implement its own bylaws.

Police and RCMP encourage residents to be aware of their surroundings in light of the recent increase in bear spray use, adding any suspicious activity should be reported to law enforcement as soon as possible.
