Be bear aware

It is prime bear season, with more of our furry friends recently spotted around town. 

Specifically, the District says that our local Conservation Officer Service officers have received reports of black bears in the Smoke Bluffs area, particularly around the Free and Easy crag. A bear has been seen accessing unattended climbers鈥 bags and food.

The District warns residents to keep their wits about them at all times when out and about, to keep both humans and bears safe. 

Here are some tips the muni recently posted: 

If you're biking, hiking, or recreating in bear country, here are a few safety reminders:

鈫 Carry bear spray and know how to use it

鈫 Travel in groups and make noise to avoid surprising a bear

鈫 Keep dogs leashed and close by

鈫 Be extra cautious around berry patches, salmon-bearing streams, and other foraging areas

At home, you can help prevent bear conflicts by:

鈫 Storing garbage, compost, and pet food securely

鈫 Keeping bird feeders out of reach

鈫 Cleaning and securing barbecues
