The Natural Resources management and Guardians are in contact with appropriate provincial authorities to ensure all bear-management activities comply with applicable provincial regulations and safety requirements.
In situations where a firearm may be required, the necessary coordination and authorization procedures are followed with the appropriate officials, and any use of firearms is conducted only by properly trained and authorized personnel in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and established protocols.
Community members are asked to respect the directions of the Guardians and report bear sightings promptly.
There are rotational guardians on call for after regular work hours who can be reached for bear sighting and management. Their names and numbers will be posted on the bands facebook pages.
