Students learn to respond to bear encounters
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.
