⚠️ All provincial parks and protected areas in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley are now under a bear warning due to an abundance of buffalo berry this summer. Bears are easy to surprise when they are eating, and they may be reluctant to move away from their food. Expect to encounter bears and be prepared:
🐻 Make noise and travel in groups
🐻 Be vigilant and look for bear foods and signs (berries and s**t)
🐻 Keep all pets on a leash
🐻 Carry bear spray where it’s accessible and know how and when to use it
🐻 If you see a bear: stop, speak calmly, and slowly leave the area - give them plenty of space
