Our mission is to reduce conflict in neighbourhoods between people and bears,
through education, innovation and cooperation.


Our primary means of accomplishing this goal is through public education about coexistence with the bears that share our community.  We can help you learn to correctly manage your "backyard bear attractants".


We are also helping work towards the achievement of provincial Bear Smart status for the City of Prince George.

Are you looking for a meaningful summer job in which you can expand your knowledge, learn new skills, work with the public, and exercise a degree of initiative and independence? The Northern Bear Awareness Society is looking for two enthusiastic summer students to deliver an established education campaign aimed at reducing human-bear conflicts within the City of Prince George.

Was your Garbage tagged?


Thank you for being a part of our Garbage Audit Program. Please help us keep people and bears safe. Waiting until the morning to put out garbages means that bear are less likely to be attracted into your neighbourhood by tempting smells. Learn more about managing attractants.

 Another good reason to wait till the morning: The Garbage Collection Regulatory Act was officially amended March 5, 2012, meaning garbage bins are to be put out no earlier than 4am on the day of pick up.

If you were involved in our Garbage Audit please take a minute to fill out our short survey.
