The advisory states that while the animals are normally timid in nature, the public must be aware of these repeated incidents so that they can protect themselves.
A trail in the vicinity of the reported encounters is now closed, and a bear trap has been installed to safely remove them from the area.
Sightings are nothing new to the city of Timmins. Earlier this year, one was spotted climbing all over a construction site.
Police say that the bears are likely attracted to natural food sources in the area, which is what keeps them coming back.
