Are There Black Bears in Edmonton?

While running alone in the darkness the other night on a wooded trail near our house I heard some rustling in the bushes.  I ignored it, because although there are lots of coyotes near us I didn't think there was anything to worry about.  When I lived in Coquitlam, there were many black bears in the woods where I ran, and running late at night was always a somewhat nervous affair for me.  I've talked about animals that can be seen in Edmonton before, but after this I decided to do some more research into the likelihood of seeing a bear while running here...  The answer is that there are some bear sightings in the Edmonton River Valley system, but it is extremely rare.  This is what I found:

• here is a news link from August 2010 about a black bear sighting by the Equestrian Center, which is pretty far into Edmonton
• a quote from the article: "Paul Prefontaine, one of two officers surveying the area, said bear sightings are not unusual, adding several have been reported in Edmonton and the surrounding area this season."
• this Government page showing the range of Black Bears in Alberta does NOT include Edmonton as Black Bear turf
• finally, this Wikipedia article lists Bears as among the animals living in the River Valley, Wikipedia is always right, right?
