Be Bear Smart
Secure Your Attractants

As hungry bears emerge from hibernation, mothers will be teaching their cubs how to look for food. If their first foraging is with garbage or another household attractant, the cubs won’t learn how to look for natural food, and this can put them into conflict with humans. Keep bears wild and secure your waste.

We acknowledge with gratitude and respect that the name Coquitlam was derived from the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ (HUN-kuh-MEE-num) word kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (kwee-KWET-lum) meaning “Red Fish Up the River”. The City is honoured to be located on the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm traditional and ancestral lands, including those parts that were historically shared with the q̓ic̓əy̓ (kat-zee), and other Coast Salish Peoples.
