RCMP Information Bulletin: Bear Spray and Derivatives 

We want to ensure students and families understand safety and security guidelines regarding personal protection pesticides like bear spray and are familiar with Policy 315: Weapons. 

Bear spray is for use in wilderness situations in which an individual is likely to encounter a bear. Bringing bear spray or derivatives to school is a safety risk for students and staff. Items like bear spray, pepper spray, and similar products are not permitted on or near school property or during school sponsored functions and activities. 

We're sharing this Information Bulletin from the Chilliwack RCMP to remind youth within the school district of the potential consequences for possessing, and/or concealing, bear spray and other personal protection pesticides. 

Thank you for helping us ensure a safe learning environment for our students.
