RCMP say that in the evening on Thursday, August 20, a black bear attacked a woman who "sustained significant injuries" and was pronounced dead when medics reached her.

The woman was camping with two small children under the age of ten and a man in his 40s.

It's the first fatal bear attack in the entire province since 1983 and it happened in an extremely remote area about 150 kilometres from Buffalo Narrows.
