Bear Aware

BC is bear country and to avoid conflict: Don't Feed the Bears!
Bears love to eat the same foods we do. While vacationing in the Kootenays, be safe and manage all garbage and food to avoid attracting bears to your camp or summer home. Keep and leave your vacation spot clean so that people after you don't have bears in the area.
Keep your pets under control at all times so that don't harass wildlife, potentially putting you in danger.
Be Bear Smart and enjoy your vacation in Bear Country!
