The CRD reminds visitors that we share our natural areas with all types of large carnivores. Always stay alert and use caution and watch for signs of wildlife nearby, such as tracks, claw marks on trees and scat. Never approach or feed wildlife and keep pets on leash at all times to reduce the risk of encounters with large carnivores.
Additionally, the CRD reminds all park and campground visitors to always properly secure food and garbage, particularly when leaving an area unattended.
Park visitors can report wildlife-human interactions where public safety may be at risk to the BC Conservation Officer Service RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277.
