Volunteers can help us to place ‘Bear-in-Area’ signs in the City and District of North Vancouver.
 
When a bear is sighted in a North Shore neighbourhood, volunteers will canvass door-to-door, leaving educational material and speaking to residents. This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to exercise as they help us to keep bears wild!
