Squamish comes in at eighth on the Fur-Bearers' list, with Prince George and Kamloops topping it.
Squamish has been listed as one of British Columbia’s Top 10 deadliest communities for black bears in 2023.
“Typically, we don’t see Squamish in the Top 10. In 2019, it was a bad year with 15 bears killed, and in 2016, there were 11 bears killed,” Fox said. However, the BC Conservation Officer Service only provided the Fur-Bearers with the location of where 247 black bears were euthanized. “The COS is in the process of upgrading to a new, enhanced system where the ability to easily capture and report statistical information will be greatly improved. This system is hoped to be in place early next year.”
“Squamish is renowned for wildlife—it’s the reason why people go there, and it’s a wonderful part of your landscape. It’s in Squamish’s best interest to protect these animals as it relates to your reputation and tourism,” she said.
