⚠️ Wildlife alert! We've received reports of bears in the Fish Creek Community Forest.

Please use caution in the area and be aware:
🐕 Keep dogs on leash and away from wild animals
🦌 Avoid surprising wildlife by making noise or travelling in a group
🐺 Stay away from an animal’s feeding site
🦊 Any changes in wildlife behaviour may mean that you are too close
🐻 If you encounter a black bear, do not turn your back and run - speak calmly yet firmly while trying to appear larger and back away slowly. If the animal is aggressive, throw things at it. If you encounter a grizzly bear, stay calm and avoid eye contact - back away slowly and do NOT act aggressively.

❗ If attacked by a black bear, FIGHT BACK, but if attacked by a grizzly bear, PLAY DEAD!
