This just in from the folks at Mountain View BearSmart Society:

“We haven’t received any bear sightings as yet but bears will soon be leaving their dens. Now is the perfect time for an information session on garbage and other attractants that bring bears and cougars into conflict with people. Come and learn how to make your community and your home bear smart and cougar smart.”

Mountain View BearSmart Society and Alberta Environment and Parks
