Be Bear Smart
Help Keep Bears Wild

It’s that time of year again when bears are waking up across our community. Cubs are learning how to find food, and if their first foraging experience is with garbage or other household attractants, they may not learn to search for natural food. Secure carts and keep food waste indoors until collection day.

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.
