The City of Castlegar has now been officially named the tenth community in the province to obtain Bear Smart status by the B.C. Conservation Officers Service.
“It is great to see the City of Castlegar and, more importantly, our residents get recognized as a Bear Smart community,” said Kirk Duff, Castlegar Mayor. “This accomplishment is possible because of a collective effort by our community to change everyday habits and activities relating to things such as garbage and fruit trees to reduce conflicts with bears in Castlegar.”
The Bear Smart Community Program is a voluntary, preventative conservation measure that supports individuals, businesses, and communities to reduce conflicts with bears.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Nine great apes at the San Diego Zoo are the first non-human primates to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
In 1994, at the San Diego Zoo, an orangutan named Karen became the first ape in the world to have open heart surgery.
Karen just made more history. Last month, she and three other orangutans, along with five bonobos, also called pygmy chimpanzees, became the first great apes to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
