| Bear Aware http://www.bearaware.bc.ca/
"Bear Aware™ is an educational program designed to prevent and reduce conflicts between people and bears in our communities. While most of us enjoy beautiful BC's wildlife, we don't want bears in our backyards! Both people and bears would be better off if there were fewer bears in our towns. Because bears are simply animals seeking whatever food they can find, the onus is on us to prevent conflicts. If we all took more responsibility for our garbage, tree fruit and kitchen compost the bear "problem" would largely disappear, as it has in many jurisdictions."
