Two bear attacks made the news this past weekend.
A 73-year-old woman was hospitalized with injuries she sustained in an Oct. 1 bear attack which took place on a section of the Flathead National Forest located near the U.S.-Canada border north of Polebridge:

And sadly, a couple and their dog died after a bear attack in Banff National Park. This one is a developing story but it sounds particularly scary, as it must have been a terrifying drawn out attack, since one of them had time to send out a Garmin SOS. This happened in a remote section of Banff and if I’m not mistaken, they were dispersed camping and not in an established Parks Canada campground:

Bears are hungry and food is limited this time of year. Be careful out there.
