Gain the knowledge and confidence to safely enjoy the outdoors in the Bow Valley through this interactive wildlife safety training. Combining practical skills, local wildlife education, and hands-on experience, this session is designed to help participants better understand how to prevent wildlife encounters and respond appropriately if one occurs.
This workshop is ideal for young adults who spend time hiking, biking, camping, working, or recreating outdoors in the Bow Valley. No previous wildlife safety experience is required. Beginner-friendly and focused on practical skill-building.
Participants will take part in a 1.5-hour Living Wild training that includes:
- An engaging presentation on local wildlife, ecology, and coexistence in the Bow Valley
- Strategies for preventing wildlife encounters
- Guidance on how to respond safely and effectively when encountering wildlife
- A hands-on artifact table featuring real furs, antlers, horns, claws, and other wildlife items
- A question-and-answer period with instructors
- An outdoor bear spray deployment experience where participants will practice aiming and firing inert (training) bear spray at a target
Participants who successfully complete the training will receive a certificate of completion.
The session will begin indoors with a presentation and interactive learning activities before moving outdoors for the bear spray deployment exercise. Participants should be prepared for both seated and standing portions of the workshop, as well as outdoor weather conditions.
