BC is bear country...and to avoid bear 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 pets under control at all times so they don't harass wildlife, potentially putting you in danger.

Be Bear Smart and enjoy your vacation in bear country.
