Canadian Wildlife Safety

Exploring Canada's wilderness comes with the responsibility of protecting yourself and the local ecosystem. Maintain distances and pack essentials.

Active Wilderness Advisories

Carry Bear Spray

Mandatory for hikes in Jasper. Carry it in a hip holster, not inside your pack. Ensure you know how to toggle safety and spray.

Make Noise on Trails

Bears and cougars avoid human interaction if they hear you. Call out, clap, or talk in groups, particularly near rushing streams or brush.

Marine Distances

Keep a minimum distance of 100 meters from marine mammals on Vancouver Island shores. Double that to 200 meters for Orcas.

Safe Elk Distance

Keep 30 meters away from elk, deer, and sheep. Male elk are aggressive in autumn (rutting season), and females are defensive in spring.
