Muskoka will be the fifth G8 summit hosted by Canada since the country joined the prestigious international forum in 1976.

Man attacked by large bear in Severn

May 19, 2010
A large black bear attacked and seriously injured a 48-year-old male in Severn Township Tuesday evening, said Const. Peter Leon, central region media relations officer.
“My understand is he has serious injuries to both of his legs and one of his arms,” he said. “Not totally sure on the extent of those injuries. They are deemed as serious, but non-life threatening so that aspect of it is somewhat encouraging.”
The male was attacked near Upper Big Chute Road and Kinnear Sideroad around 6:30 p.m.
The man, who sustained serious, but non-life threatening injuries, was airlifted from the scene to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Hospital in Toronto.
The OPP and Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) are in the area setting up traps in search of the bear, the release stated.
Police are requesting residents who live in the area to keep all pets indoors and to exercise extreme caution until this bear is located, or successfully trapped by the MNR.
If anyone spots the bear immediately call 911.
