The City of Kelowna is warning people in and around Knox Mountain Park to be aware of bears.
Several bear sightings have been reported in the park and nearby Magic Estates.
Signs have been put up to caution residents and park users that bears have been spotted in the area.
The city said people should respect bears by anticipating and avoiding encounters with them whenever possible, as well as staying alert while enjoying natural parks.
Residents are also advised to travel in groups when possible, make noise and keep dogs leashed and on the trails. Bears can be aggressive, especially when defending their food or their cubs. If encountering a bear, reduce potential conflicts by staying well away from the animal.
You can notify either the Conservation Office at 1-877-356-2029 or the RCMP at 250-762-3300 if you feel threatened by a bear – 911 should be used in the case of an emergency only.
Residents are also reminded to be "bear smart" and follow some useful tips from the WildSafeBC website, which include storing garbage in a secure building until collection day.
