A few months ago it was a bear in a Lake Cowichan convenience store selecting some gummy bears for a snack. Now it seems there’s another bear making use of human property in the Cowichan region, this time a black bear sleeping under the Weaver family’s deck.

Crystal Weaver lives along the Cowichan River, a place well-known as a high traffic wildlife thoroughfare, but she never expected to find a bear snoozing under her porch.
