WildSafeBC Community Program Application 2025

WildSafeBC is the provincial leader in preventing conflict with wildlife through collaboration, education, and community solutions. It has evolved out of the highly successful Bear Aware program and is managed and delivered by the British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF).

The WildSafeBC Community Program

WildSafeBC Community Programs are led by a part-time Community Coordinator that is hired, trained, and supervised by the BCCF. These seasonal contracts typically run from April/May to November annually and include a minimum of 400 contract hours. Community Coordinators are responsible for delivering the WildSafeBC Community Program by working closely with their community liaison(s) and local Conservation Officers. An annual report, summarizing the program’s activities, is made available each year on our website.

Application Process

Communities apply in January and February of each year with a minimum contribution in community funds in order to have a Community Coordinator deliver the WildSafeBC Community Program. If primary funding is secured, the Community's contribution may also be augmented by a funding grant to deliver a minimum 400 hour program, if Ministry funding is approved for the program. With the necessary amount of funding confirmed, the application will be accepted and the hiring process will commence.
