Bear Awareness Day

Saturday, May 23, 2025

1st Street between McArthur and Orton St (near Rumpus)

Come along for a fantastic lineup of events, bear spray demos and super-fun, family-friendly surprises.

Expect events and activities for all ages.

Everyone will learn something, or your money back (just kidding, the event is already free).

We will be set up from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Come by anytime!

Stay tuned for a more detailed schedule

Fun for all ages!

Bring your completed colouring page to the Bear Awareness Day tent to receive a prize (everyone wins!)

Download here or pick up a sheet at the Library.

Got a great bear photo? We want to see it!
We LOVE bear photos—especially ones taken by locals.

Whether you snapped it with your phone or a fancy camera, send us your best bear shot!

Everyone who enters will be entered into a draw to win a fun prize pack.

By sending us your photo, you’re permitting us to use it in our outreach and promo materials. We’re happy to include your name as a photo credit!
