Let us introduce you to Bert and Ernie. We first heard about this package deal in the late spring. They have been, and are still active around Capilano, Clevela...nd, Montroyal, Grousewoods, Upper Delbrook, Upper Lonsdale and Braemar. With all our activities in their home, it often allows bears little uninterrupted time to rest or forage during the day. Bears are in our neighbourhoods to seek safety, rest, eat natural foods and grab some extra calories from humans. In all their time around people, nobody has expressed to us they felt at risk from these bears. We don’t want Bert and Ernie to live around your home, but they do have a right to use the wildlife corridors we built our homes next to. Set the boundaries, and these intelligent animals listen. Bert and Ernie are at risk of being killed soon, as they are finding unnatural foods in all the above communities. Please help us to get these bears through the season and encourage them to den. Keep garbage and organics inside your garage Secure carport garbage in an enclosure; always keep locked and secure so cart cannot be tipped (bungee cords work well) Freeze odorous food and keep carts clean Wash milk jugs and all food containers. Keep recyclables secure until morning of pickup No items (garbage/organics/recycling) at curbside until morning of collection (as per bylaws) Bears love birdseed and suet. Only place a very small amount on a plate when you are home Pick all fruit from trees and collect and secure fallen fruit Feed your pets inside Keep grill and grease traps clean Display pumpkins in your window and not outside Keep treats inside If a bear is sleeping on your property, we advise not disturbing them. As they rouse, talk to them and encourage them to move on with your voice, from a safe place. We are confident that they will leave, as long as there is no food keeping them there. We really hope that you will help us to get these basics out to neighbours, friends and family who live in bear country. Bears like Bert and Ernie depend on us to take these small measures to help save their lives. Elyse T #helpbertandernie
