Staff at the Port of Vancouver were startled Friday to find a brazen deer wandering through the offices of the Rogers Sugar refinery.

The one-year-old buck had entered the refinery by jumping through one of the office windows.

Conservation officers, who were called to the scene, reckon that the deer had been hanging around the port for at least a week, after making the trip all the way from Burnaby Mountain in search of food.

After being tranquilized, the deer was transferred to the Lower Seymour Conservation reserve in North Vancouver, where he was last seen frolicking in the grass with other deer.

Conservation officer Jack Trudgian said the deer likely wondered along the railway tracks while making his way downtown from Burnaby, and probably would have starved to death had he not been discovered in the refinery.
