“I don’t like to see bears to be killed in our city so I would love to see more data and better campaign to see if we can reduce the bear fatalities.'
Prince George city council has requested a report from administration on possible solutions to minimize local human-bear conflicts.
Adam Davey, director of community services and public safety, said the city has been sharing information with the public regarding bear awareness since the end of March. The city made nine postings to social media that had an anecdotal reach of 29,000 people on Facebook, 27,000 on Instagram and 2,800 on Twitter/X.
“I don’t like to see bears to be killed in our city so I would love to see more data and better campaign to see if we can reduce the bear fatalities,” Yu said. Coun. Ron Polillo inquired about the bear proof bins pilot project, which took place in 2019 and saw 300 bear proof bins used in a neighbourhood in the Hart.
