BANFF, AB – Parks Canada says an investigation has turned up no evidence of a cougar attack reported last month in Banff National Park.
Alberta Health Services has said emergency crews responded to the Rockbound Lake trailhead on Feb. 12 and took an adult to hospital with minor soft tissue injuries.
Parks Canada had also posted a bulletin on Facebook saying it was closing an area of the park, but it didn’t say why.
It now says it searched the area around the reported attack but found no signs of cougar activity.
