This event is a celebration and welcoming of bears back on the landscape for another year. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the bears in our area and to refresh your bear safety knowledge and skills so you are prepared for the upcoming season and are bear aware.

Indoor and outdoor activities include bear spray demonstrations, bear safety talks, a bear trapping demonstration, bear awareness hikes (registration required), bear-related booths and displays.

In attendance to chat with you about all things bears will be Alberta Parks Ecologists, Park Rangers and Interpretation staff, Conservation Officers, Volunteer Wildlife Ambassadors, and Bear Monitoring & Aversive Conditioning Volunteers.

This is a FREE family-friendly event!

Activities begin at 9:00 am and end at 3:00 pm at the Canmore Nordic Centre.

In the event of inclement weather, the majority of activities will take place indoors.
