Downtown residents urged to secure attractants to protect bear

Staff report
July 14, 2022 5:12pm

The District of Squamish and Conservation Officer Service is urging Squamish residents to take extra steps in securing attractants, specifically garbage and dumpsters, to protect the wellbeing of a black bear in the Downtown area.

The bear frequents Second Avenue, Third Avenue, Fourth Avenue, Stan Clarke Park, Pemberton Avenue and Main Street in search of unsecured attractants on a daily basis.

Please take appropriate steps to ensure this bear does not become garbage-conditioned and human habituated. Please continue to report any wildlife sightings or encounters to the Conservation Officer Service Hotline at 1.877.952.7277.

    I lived on 7th Avenue since 2015. And, I am used to seeing black bears near my house.

    I always put my accumulating food waste in the freezer for storage, and then deposit it in the green bin the morning just before the collection truck arrives.

    I wish all residents would exert much more care and diligence regarding their food waste disposal. We should endeavour to all be more responsible in sharing the planet with other animals that live in da hood!
