BEAR SEASON IS UPON US!

The new Garbage Collection and Wildlife Attractant Bylaw No. 2178 maintains the same regulations for the establishment of garbage collection, removal and disposal services, and includes the discouragement and prevention of wildlife from accessing and becoming conditioned to, or dependent on food sources generated or controlled by human activity in the City of Revelstoke.

Please help keep bears and our community safe by storing garbage and food waste securely and only putting garbage out on your pick up day!

Visit the our Animal Control portion of this website for additional information.

Alternatively, Revelstoke Bear Aware and the BC Conservation Officer Services offer tips and statistics!
