Hey, fellow Canuck! NOT in the city, but... I was doing archaeology in the Chilcotin, in a large camp full of scientists and gear, and had a grizzly come for a visit one night. I was sleeping in a $20 Canadian Tire pup tent and he walked around it about five times, then started sniffing my head through the front flap. I was literally too scared to scream, even though there were other tents nearby. I couldn't make any sound come out of my mouth. He mangled a bag of clothes I had outside and I finally sat up and screamed my head off for help. One of the other arch's chased him away with a chainsaw. I still have the duffel bag as a souvenir. It's full of tooth marks.
