Bear Alert

The Conservation Officer Service (COS) has received reports of a young bear entering homes and climbing balconies in the Cheakamus Crossing area. Bears are currently searching for any final calories they can get before hibernation:

  • Please lock doors including balcony doors
  • Ensure all BBQs are cleaned properly after use or locked away
  • Remove pumpkins and other bear attractants

COS is currently doing education in the Cheakamus neighbourhood. Please report sightings of bears in or around properties to the COS: 1-877-952-7277.
