Letter to the Editor

Thanks to all the Elk Valley and South Country elementary schools for the opportunity to teach students about the importance of bear-proofing their homes and knowing what to do if they see a bear.

Parents, all kids have been given a take home assignment and asked to help identify any bear attractants at home and teach the family what to do if you see a bear and thanks to the teachers for following up.

As a WildSafeBC Community Coordinator I am grateful for the opportunity to educate over 1,000 kids this fall.  Kids, thanks for your help educating the community. Keep up the great work.
