Yes. Black bears are common to British Columbia, and live in the nearby woods. Some have become used to foraging into town for food. If hiking nearby, you should make sure that all food is well wrapped. If you see a bear, it's likely not going to be interested in you, so ''don't panic''. Usually if you make a lot of noise it will go away. | Yes. Black bears are common to British Columbia, and live in the nearby woods. Some have become used to foraging into town for food.
