Get Richard P. Smith's book on bear hunting (2007). Covers everything and has great tips in it. (Available on Kindle too)

Unfortunately Ontario only has a fall bear hunt.
That changes the game quit a bit.

Go up for the august 15th opener. Bait the heck out of your stand sites too. Use the grease you mentioned but also include some sweets and meat scraps.A honey burn will bring them in too. Make your bait sites THE food source and they will be back.
