Banff Centre Radio: A Mighty Force of Nature

Summer 2014: Jennifer Kingsley revisits the bear attacks that shook Banff National Park in 1980 when The Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek was on the move.

 

“It’s 1980. Five men will be attacked by a grizzly in three separate incidents in Banff National park. News of the attacks will spread around the world and in Banff the fear will be palpable. It’s more than three decades later now, but memories of that time remain strong. I wanted to hear them. I’m Jennifer Kingsley, and this is A Mighty Force of Nature.”
