The girl was bitten on the leg in North Vancouver’s Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve.

The service said the girl was walking along the Rice Lake Loop trail with her family around 3 p.m. when the incident happened.
A bystander was able to help scare the bear away.
The girl was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, BCCOS said, and no one else was injured in the incident.
