We live in a wild place, and it takes extra care to coexist with wildlife. 

Bird feeders are wildlife attractants that can attract hungry bears into our community – putting our safety at risk. It is your responsibility to prevent wildlife from accessing any food on your property, including garbage, bird feeders, and fruit trees.

The Town of Canmore Community Standards Bylaw only allows bird feeders from Dec.1 to March 31. Failure to remove bird feeders or secure other wildlife attractants can result in steep fines of $250 for the first offence, $500 for the second, and $1,000 for the third.
