Salmon Arm RCMP photographed a bear roaming downtown Salmon Arm last week and reminded residents to be bear aware.
Police discovered the bear on Tuesday, March 28.
The BC SPCA advises the following:
- Keep garbage, recycling and compost inside until pick-up day;
- Regularly clean garbage and recycling bins, cover food compost with dry leaves or grass clippings;
- Pick up ripe and fallen fruit daily, harvest ripe vegetables;
- Clean barbecue grills after every use, store when not in use; and
- Don’t leave pet food outside or use bird feeders from April to October.
