Update at 12:50 pm:
The black bear that was up a tree for much of the morning has left the city without any issue.
Todd Tarrant with Dauphin Animal Control was on top of the situation, keeping the bear monitored to keep both people and the bear safe.
He notes the bear made its way out of town through the Vermillion place area and into the fields by Vermillion Growers.
Tarrant also reminds everyone that with fall approaching, bears may be seen more often as they look to store up fat for the winter.
Luckily, wild berries are in good supply this year, so Tarrant expects a very minimal presence of bears in the city as the year progresses.

Animal control has been called in Dauphin to capture a bear.
The bear was seen in a tree outside of the apartments on 6th Avenue Northwest.
If you come across the bear, remain a good distance away.
