Report bear sightings in residential areas by phoning the BC Conservation Officer Service (COS) at 1-877-952-7277 or 604-905-BEAR. Whistler Conservation Officers are notified daily of sightings and immediately in emergencies.
Bears often cross roads or snack on food sources along the roadside. Stopping your vehicle to view bears puts people and bears at risk.
If you see a bear while you are driving, slow down, but do not impede traffic flow or stop to view bears.
Stopping on a road creates unsafe driving conditions and can stress a bear by disrupting its eating pattern.
