It is that time of year to be Bear Smart. Make sure children are aware of their surroundings and playing safe!
There are a couple of bears wandering in and around the community. Please take the appropriate steps to ensure your and the bear's safety.
- Make sure garbage is secured in bear-proof bins, not out until pick-up day.
- Secure green bins after every use and make sure the locks put in place are used
- Do not leave coolers, BBQs, or other attractants accessible.
- DO NOT leave food, naturally grown or otherwise, out for the bears, this is the fastest way to endangering their lives. They will quickly become habituated and become a threat.
- Pick fruit trees and berry bushes as soon as they are ripe and do not leave rotten fruit on the ground.
We all love our local wildlife - let's make sure to do our part to keep them wild.
If the bear behaves aggressively or poses an immediate threat, report it to the BC Conservation Officer Service at 1-877-952-7277 (RAPP)
