Overview
As fall approaches and bears prepare for hibernation, they become increasingly active in search of food — sometimes venturing into urban neighbourhoods. Port Coquitlam's Bear Aware Information Session provides residents with expert guidance on how to coexist safely with black bears, secure attractants such as garbage, bird feeders, and compost, and report sightings responsibly. This is a valuable opportunity to learn from wildlife professionals and protect both your family and local wildlife.
