Edmonton couple fined for riding bikes near sheep in Banff National Park
EDMONTON — An Edmonton couple have each been fined $3,000 for riding their bicycles through a herd of big horn sheep on a highway in Banff National Park.
Ivan Dacko tells CTV Edmonton he will fight the fine because he doesn’t think they did anything wrong.
It happened last June and Dacko says they didn’t realize they were too close to the animals and says he didn’t hear a park worker tell him to move away.
He says some sheep were sleeping on the highway and he woke them by riding nearby, then took photos of his wife passing through the herd.
