PUBLIC ADVISORY: The overnight report of a polar bear sighting on Fogo Island has been confirmed. At least one polar bear is believed to be wandering on the island and the nearby ice.

Residents are advised to keep pets and children indoors or under close supervision, travel in groups when possible and avoid areas where wildlife activity has been reported. Properly store and dispose of garbage to avoid attracting bears into communities.

Under no circumstances should anyone approach a polar bear.

If you encounter a polar bear:
• Remain calm
• If it has not seen you, quietly back away and leave the area
• If it has seen or smelled you, give it space, back away slowly but do not run.
• Avoid direct eye contact and never come between a bear and her cubs.

Fogo Island RCMP is monitoring polar bear activity and is in contact with the Department of Forestry, Agriculture and Lands.

Polar bears are commonly observed in the area during this time of year. Polar bear sightings on Fogo Island should be reported to the Forestry Management Office at 709-674-1521 or to police at 1-800-709-RCMP (7267).

This morning, Riverhead Manor experienced a fire alarm caused by fumes coming from our backup generator.

As a precaution, staff immediately evacuated all residents from the building and transported them safely to vehicles while the situation was checked. The building was cleared and within approximately 20 minutes everyone was safely returned inside once it was confirmed there was no fire.

All residents remained safe and were well cared for throughout the process. Our team followed emergency procedures exactly as required, and we’re extremely proud of how quickly staff responded.

Thank you to the local fire department / RCMP and to those who stopped to assist.

Hydro is issuing a POWER WARNING in effect Saturday morning, January 24, for the island. Customers are asked to CONSERVE electricity. Due to ongoing frazil ice issues at our Bay d'Espoir hydro plant and high power demands, we are asking that all customers on the island conserve their electricity use to help maintain system stability.

Customers can help conserve by:
• Limiting use of hot water and appliances (dishwasher, clothes washer, dryer)
• Turning off unnecessary lighting
• Turning down heat in rooms that are not in use

Our teams, along with divers and specialized equipment, continue to work hard to remove ice in Bay d'Espoir. We'll continue to keep you updated.
