Bear Safety Workshop for Ranch Families

Join us for an afternoon to learn about bear safety. This workshop is targeted specifically at safety concerns for southwestern Alberta farm and ranch owners, workers, and family members (all ages welcome) as they go about their daily routines, living and working in close proximity with grizzly and black bears. Learn:

how to minimize attractants around your ranch and yard
how to avoid bear encounters
what to do when you do encounter a bear
how to correctly identify dangerous bear behavior
how to respond appropriately

Get hands-on practice using bear spray and take home a can of bear spray for your family to use (limited number available).
