We sadly don’t have the resources to address every individual that is either by intent or neglect baiting wildlife into our communities.

We are hopeful that long-time residents will lead by example and bear-proof their properties and that neighbours will work together to ensure that the neighbourhood is free of wildlife attractants (garbage outside, windfall fruit/apples, dirty BBQ’s etc.). We have new residents, second homeowners, tourists and seniors that can benefit from your knowledge, help and experience.

If you need support addressing an issue contact [email protected] and/or contact the local bylaw officer. All reports will remain anonymous.

Call 1-844-952-7277 to report human/wildlife conflict.
