The Conservation Officer Service is hoping the public can help them find a grizzly bear who is in need of help.
The organization said it received a photo earlier this week of a grizzly with a broken-off arrow stuck in its head.
A passing motorist saw the bear along Highway 37 North, just north of the Meziadin Junction, which is north of Gitanyow. The motorist then gave the photo to the Conservation Office in Smithers.

Under B.C. law, grizzly hunting has been banned since 2017.
