A New Day Dawns in Clinton

There’s something special about a sunrise in our little corner of the world. The sky lights up in brilliant shades of orange and pink, the hills stand quietly against the morning glow, and for a moment, everything seems to slow down.

It’s a beautiful reminder that every day brings a new beginning, a fresh perspective, and another reason to appreciate the place we call home.

Clinton has a beauty all its own, and sometimes all it takes is looking up to be reminded of just how lucky we are to live here.

A heartfelt thank you to Carmel Nicholls for capturing and sharing this stunning view of a new day dawning over Clinton.

Here’s to new beginnings, brighter days, and the wonderful community we call home.

⚠️ **BEAR AWARENESS – PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THE BEARS**

There are currently bears being seen near **Carson Street in Clinton**.

We are asking everyone to **STAY AWAY from the area where the bears are being seen. Please do not go looking for them, approaching them, or stopping to take photographs.**

We know it can be exciting to see a bear in town. But getting close to a wild bear — especially with a dog or other pet — can quickly turn a wildlife sighting into a dangerous situation.

🐻 **A bear that feels threatened may charge.**
🐕 **Keep your pets under control and well away from the bears.**
📸 **Please do not approach bears for photos or encourage others to do so.**
🚗 **If you see a bear, give it plenty of space and leave the area.**

There’s another important reason to keep your distance: **when a bear becomes habituated to people or has a dangerous encounter, the consequences can be fatal for the bear.** If a person or pet gets too close and the bear feels it has to defend itself, the bear may be considered a danger to public safety and could ultimately have to be destroyed.

That’s not the outcome anyone wants.

The best thing we can do for ourselves **and for the bears** is simple: **give them space and let them move on.**

Please share this with your neighbours, friends and family — especially anyone who might be tempted to head over for a look or a photo.

**See a bear? Enjoy the sighting from a safe distance, then keep moving. 🐻**
