The group says the effort took five hours.
It says the bear will be released in an environment that’s better suited to him.
Montreal police previously said they, too, were working to contain the wild animal spotted in Montreal’s West Island.
They said officers broadcasted messages to warn residents to stay inside and worked to monitor the animal’s movements.
