Bears are in town and are actively seeking out plum and apple trees. They have entered their Hyperphagia time, where they will eat 20 or more hours a day to build fat stores!
What can you do? Pick the fruit off of your trees and off the ground. Fruit trees are super full this year, and if you are unable to pick your fruit, ask a neighbour or two to help. Several people in town have already been sharing their harvest, and this is a great way to manage food sources and keep our community and wildlife safe.
Be extra diligent with garbage, garbage bins, and other attractants that can keep the bears coming back at risk of injury and habituation.
Thank you to the many residents that have already been taking these steps!

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)
