COQUITLAM (NEWS 1130) – There’s a surprise visitor at the Coquitlam Central station this morning.
A bear cub was spotted in a tree near the West Coast Express platform.
“They believe the mom is somewhere close by because they heard some rustling in the bushes. So the key is to try to get her safely connected with her cub,” said RCMP Constable Jennifer Goodings.
Conservation officers did head to the station, but they weren’t needed, as the animals left on their own.
The situation didn’t have any impact on transit.
“After we noticed this was happening, we kept our passengers outside of the station until the train arrived and then we just loaded them directly,” says Chris Bryan with TransLink.
