Reducing Interactions with Wildlife
They have the nose to find it, and the memories to come back for more. Help prevent bears and other wildlife from becoming a problem in your neighbourhood:
- Put garbage out by 8:00 a.m. on your collection day, and not the night before
- Clean your garbage bin regularly
- Store your bins in a secure location, like a locked garage or shed
