Be Bear Smart

Coquitlam is home to bears who will soon be waking up and co-existing with us. Join us at this special event to learn how you can be "Bear Aware".

Coquitlam is home to bears who will soon be waking up and co-existing with us. We are an official Bear Smart Community so everyone has a responsibility to make sure they do their part to keep bears safe and prevent human/bear conflicts. Discover what you can do on your own property to discourage bears, with advice from the City of Coquitlam, as well as what to do if you encounter a bear. A fed bear is a dead bear and you can be fined up to $500 for not managing your waste, so come find out how easy it can be to discourage a bear from visiting your property.
